None of the files generated from/by other files are included in CVS, as that
can lead to a Versioning Nightmare (tm).  This includes configure, aclocal.m4
config.h.in, Makefile.in's from the whole project.

The whole shebang to rebuild all the files is:

aclocal && autoheader && autoconf && automake

.. that should do it, you should then be able to configure and build as you
normally might.

BTW, I've got worked out a pretty twisted scheme to securely generate these
files on the CVS server, but it can be a bit of work (and the CLUG admin
needs to check to make sure I do it right ;).  I hope to have this together
by the middle of next week so we can have automagic CVS snapshots.
