Here's what to do (or at least what I did).

In the avrdude source directory run in this order:
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake -a -c

This reproduces what the boostrap script does but it doesn't check for version 
numbers. I ran autoconf 2.59 (Cygwin) without anything yelling at me. But to be 
fair, I'm not sure if this was the Right Thing To Do.
