Hmm.  I pulled
http://enlightenment.freedesktop.org/fetch.php?file=epsilon-0.3.0.006.tar.gz

which I assume is what you mean.  Running
  autoconf
inside the top source directory works fine Autoconf-2.59.  However, do
note that aclocal.m4 contains some macro definitions which are not
supplied by either Automake nor Libtool, and are not part of Autoconf
either, nor of the epsilon package.  So if you ever run aclocal, you
have to make sure to have sources for these macros available.

Another note:

Using changequote is evil (see the Autoconf manual for why).  Instead,
use suitable quoting, for example:

dnl Use -Wall if we have gcc.
if test "x$GCC" = "xyes"; then
 case " $CFLAGS " in
 [*[\ \ ]-Wall[\ \      ]*]) ;;
 *) CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall " ;;
 esac
fi

(This is not to comment on the semantics of that snippet at all.)

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
