One minor issue with building dahdi-tools in git was the usage of
svn:externals to get menuselect. As it turns out, the heavy-lifting of
menuselect does not provide much more required functionality.

Thus as of rev. 10411[1], dahdi-tools (trunk) no longer uses menuselect.
I replaced its dependencies with simple hard-wired tests in the
Makefile. It is simple enough. There are a number of ways to implement
selection of utilities. For now you'll have to override BINS in the
Makefile one way or the other. e.g.:

  make BINS=dahdi_cfg

or manually edit the Makefile.

I can implement something in autoconf or in the Makefile. What do you
think?

There was an issue reprted[2] by some Gentoo users that the detection of
autoconf doesn't work well. I guess those will have to be fixed[3].
