First line of the README:

READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE YOU MAY DESTROY YOUR OLD UTILS!

Reinstall your old modutils, then read the README.

There's a "check-destroy-old" target in Makefile.am, I'm just trying
to figure out how to get autoconf to run it before the install target.

You're probably thinking I should fix this ASAP, and I think you're
