[Request] Jfbterm -- display multilingual text on console

Jfbterm takes advantages of framebuffer device and make it enable to display multilingual text on the console, ie: Japanese, Chinese, Korea, etc.

Features:
    * It works with framebuffer device instead of VGA.
    * It supports pcf format font
    * It is not so fast because it doesn't take any advantages of accelaration.
    * It also support coding systems other than ISO-2022, such as SHIFT-JIS by using iconv(3).
    * It is userland program.

The latest version of jfbterm is 0.4.7, created three years ago, using the old version of automake 1.4-p6. However, I cannot compile it with the latest automake version: 1.10.1, because of the following errors:

% make
...
WARNING: `aclocal-1.4' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your
         system.  You might have modified some files without having the
         proper tools for further handling them.  Check the `README' file,
         it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing
         this package.  You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
         some other package would contain this missing `aclocal-1.4' program.
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

I don't know how to solve this error. Can anyone help me?

And I also want a PKGBUILD, thanks a lot.

I could give it just a quick try and got a bit further, but it still doesn't compile. Maybe it helps you anyway
