Grrr. aclocal; automake; autoconf

[Daniel R Risacher <risacher worldnet att net>]

So I tried to go bleeding-edge and start building the Gimp and Gtk
From the CVS tree, but can't seem to navigate the maze of twisty
little automagic files, all alike.  I believe that I have the
recommended versions of automake, autoconf, and libtool, but it still
doesn't work.  Is there some secret trick I'm missing?
