thank you for the script. I'll look into it, because I'm interested in 
how to build and package debian packages. I'll also use the new 
maintainer guide. I'm just curious how the process works.

Since I'm not a programmer I was not able to figure out what's wrong 
with my debian installation or the hugin cvs source code.

With the help from Douglas Wilkins - Thank you again, Doug - we 
discovered that the libtoolversion 1.5a I used was a little bit exotic, 
that way the bootstrap script assumed that libtool was < 1.4. It was a 
version from debian/experimental :-( Why, what the hell I'm using 
experimental? .

The next step we missed to see that my autoconf was < 1.7. I used 
autoconf1.6 from debian/testing. 

Now the bootstrap is changed, so that it would stop with such a 
configured system give a short message and refuse to work.

With autoconf1.9 I had no problems to compile the source successfully.

Kind regards
