Details:

Hi,

The file gendistlist.sh, which is called by autogen.sh, uses the option -not
for the find command, and this leads to errors, e.g. on NetBSD:

find: -not: unknown option

This problem is fixed by replacing `-not' by `!' in the find command of
gendistlist.sh. According to GNU find's manual:

  ! expr True if expr is false.

  -not expr
         Same as ! expr, but not POSIX compliant.

Thanks,

Grégoire Sutre
