Well, I give you the details : 

autoconf tries to regenerate Makefile.in's, configure, etc ... when 
Makefile.am's seems older than configure.ac. So if I commit Makefile.am's 
before configure.ac, cvs store the timestamps, and then when you checkout, 
you have a configure.ac which seems newer than Makefile.am's, so it will 
launch autoconf and regenerate new Makefile.in's and configure. This is quite 
annoying if you don't have exactly the same automake than mine, it will 
complain, etc ...

So the solution is not to add Makefile.in's and configure to CVS, and let 
developpers run autoreconf and generate their files. When releasing, make 
dist creates a good tarball with all scripts ready.

Run autoREconf -fiv and give me feedback if it does not work.
