Aha, but I called only configure using whatever shell that wants.

I've built other autoconf projects, but maybe they don't use this one.  I'll 
try to write a bug report...

Gnats, indeed makepp does not, because it's repository mechanism is more 
powerful.  In fact, when I was still writing Gnu makefiles I never quite 
understood vpath, it just didn't seem intuitive...  But for backward 
compatibilty that's bad.

That's better, but not perfect.  It gives these compiler options

-I/opt/sawfish/include/rep// -I/opt/sawfish/lib/rep/i686-pc-linux-gnu/

which lead to many errors all like:

rep-gtk.h:28: fatal error: rep/rep.h: No such file or directory
