Oh, ok.

Ah, so simple! I even saw that script there, but didn't read it and
made the wrong assumptions about what it's for. Didn't know about
autoreconf before, it seems there are a few more steps in autotools
than I've seen in other tools. Great that there's a wrapper for them
all.

Thanks for your help!
