.. and enclosed is the patch to `configure'.  You can find it at the
bottom of this message.  The similar patch to `configure.in' is left
as an exercise for the reader. :)

Also ... in this `leafnode-1.9.18ma1' version, the `pcre' subdirectory
is missing from the tarball.  I copied the `pcre' directory from the
corresponding `leafnode-1.9.18' version (i.e., the non-"ma" version),
but the Makefile in the "ma" version doesn't like the structure of the
non-"ma" `pcre' directory.

Any ideas of how to get a version of `pcre' that works with this
latest "ma" version?

And finally, the "ma" version's Makefile has gmake dependencies.  I
recommend that these be removed and that this Makefile be "dumbed
down" to only use the basic, common features available in all versions
of make.  This is the de facto standard for almost all the other
software in the world that's distributed with autoconf-based
configuration.

Thanks again, in advance.
