Using autogen.sh is specific to building from the git repo. It does not apply to the distributed source package. I believe that this is also a generic file from autotools that we should not be putting project-specific instructions in.

Well, the original instructions do not work, because `./configure` does not exist. But I don't care. -- http://stefan-klinger.de o/X Send plain text messages only, not exceeding 32kB. /\/ \

It does in the source tarball we distribute.
