Hi, Andreas, howz your gcc3? Maybe I'll have a try this evening...
What has happened there is fairly standard, and has been written in 
changelog, but not in readme (sorry) and not in this list (more sorry):

As automake/autoconf/libtool is in movement, and you can get trouble when the 
aclocal.m4 does not fit the automake/autoconf installed (these were probably 
David's install troubles lately, where I kept telling him, "if you have a 
autoconf installed...", but he *had* one installed). So I hope to avoid 
future install problems by doing what most packages that are on CVS do:

I remove all files that are generated by running aclocal, automake and 
autoconf and I create a script that runs these script. 

The script in question is bootstrap-cvs.sh. Do 
sh ./bootstrap-cvs.sh 
to obtain a  configure.

Thanks for the question, and bonne année to Paris and all list readers,
Cheers,
Wolfgang
