Hi Steve.  Thanks for letting me know about the build problem.  I
suspect that the crack team of robotfindskitten coders will probably
want to update the build to work with automake 1.6--it looks like a
simple shell problem that would be easily fixed.

I suspect that fixing the build problem in the configure script (and
then adding a build-depend on automake <= 1.6) would be a sufficient fix
to this problem, although I'm something of a new debian package
maintainer.  We'll see what the upstream authors have to say.

Again, thanks a lot!
