Description Joe Marcus Clarke 2003-11-16 19:01:00 UTC 
There is a bashism in the matroska detection that breaks configure on
platforms where /bin/sh is not bash.  This problem breaks configure even
when libmatroska is not present, and the error is not very intuitive at
all.  Thank goodness for set -x -v.  The attached patch corrects the problem.

Hi, we've removed the external lib requirements for Matroska. This
means the patch isn't needed anymore, since the .m4 macro is removed.
Thanks for mentioning it, though.
