missing .x files

[Dale P. Smith]

Hi There.

I just tried to compile cvs guile on a cobalt Qube 3 (intel, 2.2.x
kernel, hacked over RedHat distro) from a "make dist" that I made on my
Debian unstable (latest auto* tools) machine.

None of the *.x files were made and make complained that it didn't know
how.  I just added rule to make them.

foo: $(DOT_X_FILES) $(EXTRA_DOT_X_FILES)

and did a "make foo" in the libguile directory.  I could then make and
make install.  Seems to be working.

automake is 1.4
autoconf is 2.13
libtool is 1.3.4

Is there a problem with these tools?  I can't really change them.  Well,
I *could*, but I don't want to.  Shouldn't the newest auto* tools be
required from building out of cvs?

Could my Debian box be misconfigured?  Guile builds and install just
fine there.
