Hi Bero,

If anything, the configure file should be removed. :)

It was deprecated a long time ago and it's only there for legacy
reasons. If you want to use LLVM as your base toolchain, I strongly
suggest you move to CMake.

PS: For now, a post-fix should be applied to the 3.8.1-final anyway.

We've actually moved to cmake ages ago -- but our build system requires
source tarballs and the script determining their name was still using "grep
PACKAGE_VERSION configure" to determine their right filename for the
tarballs.

Ah! ok... :)

Thanks for the catch, btw. I think we need to update that anyway,
regardless of it being deprecated, at least until we finally remove
the file.
