I attached my current configure.ac (now test3) which uses trunk and
libtool and the 3-argument version of PLPA_INIT() + the 1-argument
version of PLPA_INCLUDED, but with this I get the deprecated warning,
I will switch back to the 0-argument version.

I would expect that autoheader dive into SUBDIRS.

I had the same idea, see the commented line to run autogen.sh inside
plpa-1.1 inside the topdir autogen.sh

Don't know, is my first experience with svn:externals. I thought it
would be easer to keep it up-to-date with upstream plpa
