You mean when you retrieved your sourcecode from CVS, you needed to call 
libtoolize? That's intentional; in fact, exactly for that reason the 
README says that in this case you need to call "make -f Makefile.dist" 
which in turn will call libtoolize. The reason for this is that all 
these files are auto-generated by your installed version of the 
autotools. If they were copied into CVS, you would get conflicts as soon 
as different developers are working with different versions of the 
autotools. And since these are auto-generated anyway, they can be 
generated by each developer individually.

Anyway, this only concerns people who use the source from CVS. All 
others will get a tarball which includes all these necessary files.

Best regards,

Christian
