Re: Patch: new contrib script, auto-fetch

+BASE=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu
+AMDIR=automake-1.9.3
+AMFILE=$AMDIR.tar.bz2
+AUTOMAKE=$BASE/automake/$AMFILE
+AUTOCONF=$BASE/autoconf/$ACFILE

I'd add an optional argument specifying the install directory. One may reasonably want to install the autotools in $HOME or anyway to discard the build directory.

And I'd extract the version number from ACDIR and pass it as a program suffix.

Nice script!

Paolo
