Whew. So I excaped a tough riddle.

Yes, this is CVS. configure is generated by automake/autoconf, so you have to 
invoke 

sh bootstrap-cvs.sh 

(or some similar name, it is quite recognizable). This will do the necessary 
things.

BTW the necessary things are 

aclocal -I . && automake --add-missing && autoconf 

then you should have a configure.

When rolling a distribution, a ./configure script is generated and shipped 
with the distribution.
