[Scribus] It lives!!!!

[Maciej Hanski]

Steve, Paul,
thanks for your hints. Luckily, I haven't managed to delete my "old" 
SuSE 7.3, so switching to another autoconf version wasn't really a 
problem. On the other side, commenting out all the "AM_LDFLAGS" in 
Makefile.am files seems to be a very quick and dirty solution - after 
having done that and subsequently executing "./configure" on my MDK 9.0, 
I got this:

checking for freetype-config... ./configure: line 1459: WARNING:: 
command not found no

And finally:

Configuration Summary:

FreeType2 installed: No
CUPS installed: Yes
LittleCMS installed: Yes
TiffLib installed: Yes

As FreeType2 is surely installed and worked fine with 0.9.9, there must 
be another way to solve this (perhaps setting the variable AM_LDFLAGS?).
