The term was a little... or more like a gross exaggeration.

It might be. I'm not that familiar with CentOS (I'm a gentoo user and
have been using Slackware before that). However, it's a stock CentOS
5.3 with the sawfish required tools installed from source in
/usr/local

Which seem to work fine with 1.3.5.1?

Let me know if you want me to do some more testing.

That was the first think I tried, but it resulted in some more errors
so I was uncertain if that was the correct thing to do:

: zener librep; mkdir m4
: zener librep; ./autogen.sh 
Running autoheader
Running libtoolize
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
Running aclocal 
configure.in:27: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
Running autoconf 
configure.in:27: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use
      m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:92: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.in:93: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

Yes! I just wish I started at this end...
