I'm sorry that I forgot about that: compiling from cvs is
usually a bit different from compiling from a released
tarball. Did you try to run the script "autogen.sh"?

I've just downloaded and compiled the cvs version to check
whether I would have the same problem here since my automake
version is 1.7.9:

  cd /tmp
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/swarm co swarm
  cd swarm
  ./autogen.sh

As you can see above, the cvs command created a new "swarm"
directory inside the "/tmp" directory, so I'm sure that I
have the correct versions of all files. And as you can see
below, in spite of the warning about automake version, the
"./autogen.sh" correctly created the "configure" script,
and, then, I could do "configure" and "make".

  jakson@:swarm$ ./autogen.sh

I also noted that in the cvs version the line 1728 of
mframe.m is already commented. So there is no need to
comment it manually anymore.

Thanks for pointing the problem! I'll add the warning in the
tips on how to compile swarm on Debian.

Best regards,
