ok, summary: after clean up and fresh install of autotools ./configure on a 
fresh cvs checkout works ? That means the most important problem right now is 
solved ?

what are these new errors ? when are they appearing ?
even in the case it works in a way now... these should still be tracked..

if configure works now, it may be that all autotools will work, or not.

basically you'll need to run autoconf when you changed the release number in 
configure.ac, and you need to run automake when you added removed source/header 
files to Makefile.am.

if you need to change configure.ac or Makefile.am and the autotools fails to 
create a new configure and Makefile.in, you still can make the changes, and ask 
on the list that someone runs the autotools and commit it... it's not a good 
solution but a workaround untill it is fixed correctly.
