Fixed mkrelease in cvs and uploaded new tarballs which include the mentioned files instead of symlinks.

Thanks again for finding this issue.

Thanks, indeed there shouldn't be symlinks in the distribution.
I'll look at this issue.

Apologies if this is not a bug.

I'm on linux:
Linux kernel 2.6.20.1 #1 Thu Feb 22 08:57:58 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Out of the box configuration of pnetlib-0.8.0 fails with:
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

Actually, I find that config.sub config.guess and ltmain.sh are symlinks to system files:

config.guess -> /usr/share/libtool/config.guess
config.sub -> /usr/share/libtool/config.sub
ltmain.sh -> /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh

Since my libtool installation lives under /usr/local, I get the above mentioned configuration error (after pointing the links to the correct locations for my system, all works without problems).

I just wonder if this is correct, or may be the above links should instead have been physically copied into the pnetlib-0.8.0 tree (as it was, e.g., for the 0.7.4 version)
