OK. I had them like that, but when i looked at the script that seemed
incositent with established configure syntax, so I "fixed" them.

Right, I might find the time to do that. If I do, I'll ask how to submit
the patch. In the menatime, isn't AMANDA_HOME/var/lib where index files are
stored? So if I am correct, then won't this change break working systems on
an upgrade? At least untill an entire dumpcycle has been run, and new
indexes have been created for all posible tapes?

Thanks for the help!
