Hi Tommi,

I see Daniel did change the configure.ac AC_INIT call, so the version string is
computed ... which is permitted [1].  You see, the problem here is you are not
supposed t rerun ./autogen.sh when you install using a tarball

This said, I know Debian asks (for license checks if I remember correctly), that
Debian maintainers do rerun 'autoreconf -vif':

	I suggest you manually change this AC_INIT call, and replace the m4_esyscmd
	by the version you are releasing, in this case 1.10.0

	[ not that this is version 1.10.0	(not 1.1.10)

Daniel,

I see you also manually added AC_SUBST(VERSION, 1.10.0) (line 40), I think this
not necessary and redundant?
