Hi Doc.

Download the daily source snapshot from:

http://n0nb.sourceforge.net

It will have the configure script.

I am almost certain that you have checked out the repository using Git,
which is fine except that directions and information on what needs to be
done is in the first part of README.developer.

P.S. The INSTALL file is applicable to release and snapshot tarballs.
Does that need to be clarified?
