The patch is not useful, the Makefile.in are automaticaly generated
from the Makefile.am by automake.

I have build a new snapshot of amanda-2.4.3b4 with automake-1.5, this
fixe the problem with IRIX make.

The snapshot is at
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/amanda-2.4.3b4-20020917-with-automake-1.5.tar.gz

I would appreciate if many people try it, if it break nothing, I will
use automake-1.5 to build the stable 2.4.3
