Uh, yes and no. The first two commands run to completion without 
complaint. I now have the original missing files, but running "autoconf" 
gives this error message:

autom4te: cannot open /usr/local/share/autoconf/autom4te.cfg: No such 
file or directory
at /usr/local/bin/autom4te line 428

I checked and the directory exists, but this is no cfg file at all. This 
leads me to believe that I didn't do something that probably should have 
been done in June when I installed Cygwin.

Just to see what the first two command achieved I tried ./configure, 
which now seems to run to completion, but make complains that it cannot 
find the same .cfg file that autoconf cannot find.

Even though the fix didn't completely work this is a considerable 
improvement. Next magical incantation?
