ORBit configuration problems

["Sergey I. Panov" <sipan mit edu>]

There is a problem with ORBit (fresh from CVS) configuration:
[sipan@sipan ORBit]$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/gnome
...
Makefile.am:3: required directory ./popt does not exist
...
./autogen.sh: popt: No such file or directory
Makefile.am:3: required directory ./popt does not exist
...


 And then:

[sipan@sipan ORBit]$ make
cd . && automake --gnu Makefile
Makefile.am:3: required directory ./popt does not exist
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1


if I "mkdir popt", then configuration does not complain about
anything, but
 [sipan@sipan ORBit]$ make
cd . && autoheader
configure.in:125: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
...[the same for lines 192,193,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204,205,206]

What is going on? 

Had somebody forgot to commit some important piece?
