Useful. Also a reminder why usually my pants drop down within the hour :

I want autoconf, not automake : My makefiles are good. Very good if I
say so myself. install-sh (or install.sh) is installed my automake,
but I don't want automake. autoconf requires install.sh it however. WTF ?
I ended up making a copy...
