I added the following patch (Franks already committed Michael's patch in
rev e9737) to mention the various devel libraries needed on
fedora/debian/opensuse - lovely, they all use different names...

2008-08-16  Mark Wielaard  <mjw@redhat.com>

    * configure.ac (build_elfutils): Mention possible distro
    specific elfutils development sub-packages needed when not found.

BTW. Michael, the elfutil sub-packages from opensuse all list
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/elfutils as homepage, but newer
elfutils packages now have their own public project at:
http://elfutils.fedorahosted.org/ (and the latest version is 0.135).

Cheers,

Mark
