Comment 7 for bug 414248

Ok, thank you!

I was just thinking, that it is now no necessity to use the workaround :)

PS By the way, I would recommend you to look at "scons" instead of
autotools. YADE is using it. It seems a very convenient and powerful thing
which allows to automatize almost all processes during the building.
