If you get the source from cvs you do not get the autogenerated configure
file. If you have autoconf, automake and libtool install you can use the
autogen.sh script instead of configure. (It will create a configure file
and run it.)

Note that you will need to check out atk too, that is a new dependency
that is probably not mentioned in the linux-fb docs.
