Pavel> Shouldn't we have a HACKING file?
I don't think so, but if you think we should, go ahead.
There is one thing you must know: using Automake > 1.4 will break the
test suite. See the comments in tests/Makefile.am for an
explanation. I have not tried to set up an alternate means to build
macros.m4.
In fact, we should go back to the previous implementation which used
egrep with multiple -e, but ship macros.m4 to avoid losing as we did
the first time. I'll take care of this (unless you beat me :).
