Hi, 

While working on the PTXdist build system we noticed that the nfs utils'
Makefile system is significantly broken when it comes to cross
compiling. After hacking the old code for some hours we had the
impression that it was so seriously broken that we re-wrote the
makefiles with the GNU autotools.

It doesn't make much sense to post a patch - this would probably be
larger than the packet itself. As a base for further discussion, here's
our version: 

	http://www.pengutronix.de/software/nfs-utils/

This version does the following things:

	* remove all old Makefiles and replace them with proper
	  Makefile.am files
	* tested for cross compilation
	* tested for out-of-tree builds
	* currently the Debian/Red Hat support is missing
	  (might be something for somebody who knows what he 
	  is doing)

Any comments are welcome...

Robert
