mgetty should use autoconf and automake

   I was afraid that something like that would happen.  You don't expect me
   to go through the whole tar archive and find out what has changed, and
   what stays the same?  Then merge that to my local CVS tree?

Run diff between the two distributions. Most part of it stays the same.

   Why? It's essential on many platforms where the normale echo command
   doesn't honour escape sequences, but "echo -e" does.

Then we will need some autoconf tests to examine the echo command.
Simpler to avoid using \n and \t.

   Hmm, actually this is not necessary - the berne convention honours
   an author's copyrights without explicitely mentioning it everywhere.

Then others know who have written what,
