Description
Running this command after downloading the latest release of libshout 2.4.3:
"sh autogen.sh"
Without the quotes, leads to:
checking for autoconf...
checking for automake 1.6 or later... automake
checking for aclocal 1.6 or later... aclocal
checking for libtool... libtoolize
Generating configuration files for libshout, please wait....

Hmm. Perhaps we could use meson or cmake as build system? Other autoconf
based projects work fine on my linux system here but libshout fails tragically.
A "configure" file is created but running this then leads to:
checking for gettimeofday... yes
checking for ftime... yes
checking for strcasestr... yes
checking for library containing nanosleep... none required
./configure: line 12944: XIPH_NET: command not found
./configure: line 12956: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./configure: line 12956: ACX_PTHREAD('
No idea why that fails but it may be best to abandon the shell macro
hell that autoconf imposes onto mankind.
