[Rivet] INSTALL_AUTOTOOLS=1 ?

Ah, thanks for helping out in that thread. I wasn't available the last
5 days unfortunately, otherwise I would have answered/fixed there
already, sorry.

No, not at all, that's absolutely fine. There is just one little bug
that you seem to have (re)introduced: The dev mode build shouldn't use
--with-yaml_cpp=$YAMLCPPPATH anymore, right? (Glad to see that I'm not
the only one having problems overseeing their hg commits... ;-))
I have removed that again, or did that actually work for you?

(Did you not like the hg and cython autodiscovery?)

Cheers,
Frank
