Well, first off, Cees de Goot, not James Clark, is responsible for the
autoconf/libtool system.  So pester Cees, not James.

Secondly, you need Cees autoconf patch 1, at least.  Cees was
maintaining fixes for that system at
<URL:http://www.sgmltools.org/jade.html>, which is dead right now.
However, I do have patch 1, which I've temporarily put up at
<URL:http://master.debian.org/~aph/jade-1.2-patch1.diff.gz>.  Note
that the patch won't apply right on some of the RCS variables; just
ignore that (it's Cees', not mine!)

I've managed to build using the autoconf/libtool system (like so:
'CFLAGS="-O2 --pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O2 --pipe" ./configure --prefix=/usr
--enable-http --enable-static --enable-shared
--enable-default-catalog=/usr/lib/sgml/catalog:/usr/local/lib/sgml/catalog
--enable-default-search-path=/usr/lib/sgml:/usr/local/lib/sgml').

Seems to work fine but I haven't tested it too much.
