Not really.. But, I have not been able to find anything else that fits my needs.

I was able to get it to compile under Buildroot yesterday. Now I just need to
figure out what I did to make it work...

One issue I had was:

aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'

The only way I could make this go away was by renaming the configure.in files.
Is this warning normal? I don't remember seeing it with any other packages in
Buildroot.

Thanks,
Hartley
