Derek, could you please check in automake instructions?

[Karl Fogel]

Or better yet, an `autogen.sh'-like build-from-scratch script? :-)

It's not clear whether people building from the working tree are
supposed to run automake, or use the pregenerated `Makefile.in's
(which are still present).  

I tried both.  Using automake failed because I only have automake 1.4,
not the required 1.4a.  Where did you get 1.4a?  The main GNU ftp site
still only has 1.4.  Don't mind depending on bleeding edge tools, but
have to be able to find them. :-)

Building the old way 

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
   make

failed because lib/Makefile contains some unsubstituted autoconf
macros.  I assume this is related to the recent automake switchover.

Here's my lib/Makefile; search for "@AMDEP@" to see where the lossage
starts:

# Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure.
