I rewrote it recently (what's in cvs), specifically to remove the dependency
on autogen.sh and to make sure that it worked with recent autotools (recent
at the time).
I suspect that the autogen.sh in gnome-common is excessively complicated.
Nobody should need a complex autogen.sh.
It's generally agreed that gnome-common should go away, and part of the
reason for my rewriting the autogen.sh in gnome-hello was to show how to do
it without gnome-common.

Feel free to patch for documentation building. For API documentation
building, I think that would be in a separate libgnomehello example.
Applications don't have API.

Again. Patch, please.
