[Freeciv-Dev] So it's _not_ me -- filed as Bug #283

["jrb3@xxxxxxxx (Joseph Beckenbach III, CCP)" <jrb3@xxxxxxxx>]

        Just looked at the autoconf versions used for the BeOS port.  No
wonder I'm getting trouble -- aclocal.m4 is NOT valid for autoconf-2.12!
Either require 2.13, or get that third argument off the lines that define
PACKAGE and VERSION.  2.12 accepts one or two arguments;  if there are three,
PACKAGE and VERSION are defined to be 1, not strings, which breaks compiles.
Alternative pseudo-patches provided.  I prefer the aclocal.m4 patch myself.
