[Epiphany] autogen.sh problems

[Robert <st stereolyzer net>]

Hello, 

I'd love to peek at epiphany after reading about it in the latest gnome
summary.
Unfortunately am I expiriencing problems when trying to ./configure it.
I'm running recent garnome on YellowDog Linux 2.3 with upgraded autoconf
2.57 and automake 1.7.2.
I also tried to set the ACLOCAL_FLAGS like suggested on the galeon2
install page.
I'd be very happy to get a hint although this might not have to do with
epiphany at all.

Best regards, 
Robert
