err, why do you think you need to bother with the Makefiles? configure will
generate them from you, and configure does not need automake or autoconf...

Hmm, I have little experience with libtool, but unless it is evil incarnate,
it should not force you to have autoconf and automake to work. Heck, it
should not force you even to have libtool around, to work, I am told...

It is fixed in 1.10. I hope we get that into Debian soon (i.e. that woody
ships soon, and we thaw).
