This is standard. When you check out a project from SVN, you are
expected to bootstrap it using the included autogen.sh script. When
the tarball is distributed, it is done using the Makefile's "dist"
target. This makes a pre-bootstrapped tarball with the configure
script so the user does not need any autotool-related dependencies
like automake and autoconf.
