Yes, the automatically generated autoconf/automake files are a bit of a
pain with CVS and different versions of automake/autoconf, and there are
several incompatibilities between the old autoconf 2.13/automake 1.4 and
the newer autoconf 2.5/automake 1.5.  Many other projects use a more
sophisticated "autogen.sh" than we do, but that doesn't work at all if
some people don't have autoconf/automake.

Maybe we could fiddle with autogen.sh to make it run the command you
suggest if autoconf/automake are present, and just do the current "touch"
otherwise?

Hmmm... what is $LD_PRELOAD before you run that script?

Cheers,
