That has never worked on my system, so I figured I was missing a library or
something strange.  I will try to investigate, hopefully it is just something
that I am missing in one of the makefiles.

Yup, thanks.  I is a easy fix, I just have to reorder the PATH in configure.in

In the meantime the environment variable will override the configure script so
do this:
	rm config.cache
	export IDL=$XMLBLASTER_HOME/bin/idl
	or
	setenv IDL $XMLBLASTER_HOME/bin/idl
	configure
	...

That will set IDL to the right tool.

That would be very cool.  I have have never done it (with out a perl
Makefile.PL anyway).  Definately something to add onto the wish list.
