$ ./autogen.sh
   ERROR: could not find workbook dir
   re-run like so: ./autogen.sh WORKBOOK

$ autoreconf -i --force
   aclocal:configure.in:694: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in 
library
   aclocal:configure.in:694: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in 
library
   configure.in:717: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
