I arranged the patch neatly and installed in the Gnus CVS trunk. Note that the configure script there has been regenerated by autoconf v2.61[1], and the file timestamp should be newer than configure.in and aclocal.m4 (actually, I installed the other files first, and then installed the configure script after a while). However, if it doesn't go well when you check it out, it will be regenerated using the version of autoconf available in your system, or it might not work if you don't have autoconf installed. If you meet such a trouble, please let me know. [1] Autoconf v2.60 and the greater ones support the installation directory name containing spaces and/or tabs.
