autogen.sh won't do anything, and in most cases, make clean won't
be necessary. I might write something in CG 8.7 about this.
Incidently, we now recommend an out-of-tree build. The
instructions aren't online yet, but they're in git:
./autogen.sh -noconfigure
mkdir -p build/
cd build/
../configure
make
This occasionally breaks in git, but the official releases are all
made with an out-of-tree build, so any source tarball will work
this this method. I just mention this in case it's useful for
your packaging work.
Cheers,
