- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4

  scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older
  checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs
  and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and
  fix.
