That was _amazingly_ quick (unlike my response - thank you anyway).
Also, sorry about the HTML formatting on the first post.

We've already had a build.info in the sub-directory, and it all just worked.

I have to say that the configuration mechanism has improved since 1.1.1.
With 3.0, ./Configure worked flawlessly.  With 1.1.1 ./Configure said
"try ./configure", so I tried that and it failed too.

(I didn't spend any time trying to diagnose the problem, because I now
have a working 3.0 build.  I don't suppose anyone else is interested in
debugging it either, given 1.1.1 is about to go out of support.)
