Daniel,

can you be a bit more specific ? What exactly does not allow people to
run configure under Windows ? Lots of projects build fine under windows
using the standard autotools set.

I would be surprised if that were true.  You have to *remove* the file.
If you leave it in a conflict it doesn't compile.  To be honest, it has
always bothered me before that this conflict is there, I just never took
the time to look into it like Federico did.  As James said, a conflict
in a cvs update should only happen because the user has local
modifications.

jhbuild cannot do anything else.  The conflict leaves markers in the
file that will cause it to not compile.  JHbuild can't make the
difference between a user change and a conflict because of this setup.
At this point the only thing that can solve it is manual intervention.
