Hi James.  There's a couple of things what would make my life easier
when I update the tn5250 Debian package to 0.17.4:

- There are newer versions of config.guess and config.sub in CVS.  See
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/README

- The archive for 0.17.3 includes the CVS folders, so I guess it's just
a tarred-up CVS working copy.  It would be better to have the result of
'make dist'.

Unfortunately, it looks like 'make dist' needs 'make docs' to be run in
src/ first, and the current version of robodoc in Debian takes
completely different options.  The simplest solution for this seems to
be to remove $(HTMLDOCS) from EXTRA_DIST in doc/Makefile.am and run
autoreconf again.
