Ok, I had problem with the autoconf stuff, because it requires a
local dev script I don't have: In autogen.sh there is:
        cmd="./tp/maintain/regenerate_file_lists.pl"
        echo "  $cmd"
        $chicken eval $cmd || exit 1
and
        # Generates another include file for tp/Makefile.am.
        cmd="./tp/maintain/regenerate_document_strings_make_rules.sh"
        echo "  $cmd"
        $chicken eval $cmd || exit 1
but there is no directory ./tp/ in the sources ...

I know, and actually I don't consider this HIGH priority. 
These changes were suggested, and we included them, but I reverted to
former compile method and everything is fine again, no need to hurry.

Just wanted to mention in case something might have a more 
serious reason, no idea what though.

Best wishes
