I agree, that would be a more accurate description. I didn't put too
much thought into it. I was in "common talk" mode.

That's interesting. I only know English, sadly.

I'll get around to fixing the issues you mentioned with the GLImport
change that I made.

I forgot about the existence of the 'configure.in' file. I'm pretty sure
the name for that changed to 'configure.ac' before I was even born...

The only reason I know that it exists is because I looked through some
4.4BSD sources at one point. It had some GNU software that used that
name.
