Because glib's configure.in wants to check whether you have gtk-doc  
at configure time, you have to have gtk-doc's m4 file at autogen  
time.  Otherwise, autogen cannot create the proper shell commands in  
the configure script.  The idea is that a developer will be more  
likely to have all of the dependencies available than an installer/ 
user, and only a developer would have to run autogen because the  
configure script comes in the tarball.

That's not specific to glib, it's pretty much the way autotools  
things work.
