It sounds like there is a failure on the part of AC_PATH_XTRA, which
is largely unmodified from Autoconf2.  (Gary, you can get the autoconf
sources from /net/qtt/export/tools/external/gnu/src/autoconf-2.12, if
you want to dig) I was hoping not to have to change this, but the more
I've worked with Autoconf2, the more I've had to rewrite functions
defined in that package.  I need a (defadvice) for m4!

Is Autoconf2.12 X detection known to work for any other package on
BSD/OS 2.0 or Sparc-Linux?  (Maybe this is really a problem with the
latest release of XFree86 + Autoconf2)

I repeat my call for people who are willing to let me log onto their
system so that I can debug configure failures.

Martin
