[dune-pdelab] autoconf fails for r2165 of pdelab

[Bath Uni]

Hi Steffen,

thanks, I checked out all the other modules from the repository, and I did the same with pdelab. I could build and install the core modules with dunecontrol. I'm now back to using revision 1996 of pdelab, which I could also build and install without any problems. This is fine for my requirements at the moment.

I've also tried running dunecontrol autogen for r 2100, and this works fine. In r 2110 I get the following error, which seems to be unrelated to my problem.

[…]

Terminating dunecontrol due to previous errors!
