Because I haven't read the manual well enough and because it solved the
problem. I think I had a look to the generated Makefile.

I think moving the acconfig.h file to the top directory is THE solution.

I have tested it and it worked well. But the new configure options aren't in.
So I ran bootstrap. Then all worked as expected, but I couldn't "make dist".
I have fiexed all necessary things to make "make dist" and "make distcheck"
running.

Attached you will find the patch. After applying the patch, don't forget to run
bootstrap first.

After configure, I have done the following tests:

make
make install
make uninstall
make dist
make distcheck -> I have also checked all the make targets with the package

I think now the build system is ready and stable.

I am still highly motivated to work on this project. As you see from my
previous mails I spend a lot of time to write in a foreign language and make
things clear.

You were right to remove unnecessary things. I would have done it also.
