Fix #542: About window shows old commit https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/542 The old commit ID was being kept in autom4te.cache. This is not being cleared by "make distclean", and so the old ID continues to be used. Revised user docs show to use: sudo make uninstall; sudo make maintainer-clean; ./autogen.sh make -j<no. of cpu cores>; sudo make install
