Norm,

I'm wondering if the problem is a cygwin setup or config issue.

Not being too sure of what state my plib examples directory was in after 
all the attempts to fix the problem I blew it away and did a clean 
install of the examples tar ball. Then I followed your sequence.

As before, the incantations supplied recreate the previously missing 
files were generated (as expected), but again autoconf dies complaining 
that autom4te.cfg or its directory is missing.

Looking around, I found there is a directory 
"/user/local/share/autoconf", but no cfgfile is there. Further searching 
   found a file named autom4te.cfg in the directory path 
/usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf. Am I supposed to copy that into 
/user/local/share/autconf? The path suggests that it would not be 
searched by default.

BTW, I tried re-running cygwin's setup, but nothing showed as missing or
needing update. All files were either "keep" or "skip".

Suggestions? Sebastian?
