Peter,

Could you be specific about what files I am replacing and what version
of the various tools I need to use to accomplish this?  I suffered several
hours of misery trying to get PROJ.4 building working again for 4.4.9 after
trying to update the to a newer version of libtool (I think).  Apparently
that effort was wasted, or incomplete.  Before going into that breach one
more time, I would like to know I would be using an appropriate set of tool
versions and have a better understanding of what problem it is I am trying
to solve.

I realize it is rather unprogressive of me, but at times I remember the old
days fondly.  In the old days we would download a package and just edit the
makefile, tweaking compiler names, and options a bit before building.

Now I have to run a 700K configure script and use another 200K libtool script
to build PROJ and I have little hope of figuring out problems when things go
wrong.  PROJ is not a tiny package, yet the configure script is larger than
all the source code for the package (450K).

Best regards,
