It is not yet Friday. But I do blame GNU anyway for missing the obvious
missing part in their 'configure;make;make install' paradigm:
'./autogen.sh' is what MUST be done before that. autotools are not
runtime dependencies, they can be freely upgraded at any time.

It is 2019. Every variant of autotools out there works reasonable well.
So please remove the configure crap from the repo, and leave just
autogen.sh, m4/ and configure.ac in the SCM.

Thanks.


Olaf
