automake/autoconf are standard GNU development tools and they are
probably just as annoying as useful sometimes. The reasons I want it
for are at least, make dist, make distcheck, the standard install
target and the automatic dependency rules it generates. When I asked
last month the only concern was that it may not work on Windows,
therefore I added a simple Makefile.w32 for that. Note that you do
not need automake or autoconf if you compile the released version.
Only the CVS doesn't contain configure etc since those files are
automatically generated.
