gEDA-dev: geda/gaf automake/autoconf issues

[Igor2 <igor2-at-NOSPAMinno_dot_bme_dot_hu>]

Hi,

Today I've checked out the code from the CVS and tried to compile it. I
had automake version 1.4 and the compilation failed in a way that it was
not trivial that my automake was too old. Installing automake 1.8 solves
the problem. I think autogen.sh scripts should check automake/autoconf
versions and warn the user if they are too old. 

The other issue is a nice warning autogen.sh gives on my Debian GNU/Linux
testing, with GNU find version 4.2.8: 

find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though
pathnames do).  That means that '-name ./CVS' will probably evaluate to
false all the time on this system.  You might find the '-wholename' test
more useful, or perhaps '-samefile'.  Alternatively, if you are using GNU
grep, you could use 'find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ ./CVS'.


I think a possible solution would be not using -name $srcdir/CVS to filter
the results but use a grep. (-wholename doesn't seem to be too portable). 
A patch for gattrib is attached as an example.

Regards,

Igor2
