I'll try, but I should warn you that the last time I tried (which was
just a few days ago -- I was trying to get something to work with
textutils and fileutils), it didn't work.  I believe it had something
to do with automake + autoconf + Solaris 8.

I sent a 2.13 version because I think Joerg Schilling is using 2.13.
It's longstanding GNU policy to not require unreleased tools to build
software, which is why I still use 2.13 for software I publish.

If anyone still cares about the 2.13 version other than me, here's a
patch for a typo in the version I sent Dec 28:

        * m4/largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Fix typo: missing comma.
