It seems to be a common standard to have a script to generate the auto*
files from scratch in CVS by that name and some auto CVS builders (like
jhbuild which Thomas is working on) depend on a script with that name.
So if someone can come up with a good/working autogen.sh then I would
love to see it in CVS.

BTW. autoreconf picks up the wrong automake on my system and then fails
horribly. So some kind of version checking is needed in this script.

Cheers,
