I still have 20000619-maintainer-tools.tar.gz that you put up one time.
It's no longer on the FTP site, apparently.  Should it be?

I occasionally use autoconf 2.50 to generate local versions of configure
and company, and it seems to work.  And I've been playing with Zack
Weinberg's initial set of patches for using AC2.50 (much of the cruft in
GLIBCPP_CONFIGURE goes away, I think).

But there still hasn't been a release of automake/libtool since the
20000619 snapshot.  So I'm still using those.
