Thanks, that works.

Definitely. README-alpha is not a very obvious name either if you're 
building from CVS.

I attach a patch to simplify the automake rebuilding logic. It addresses two 
points:

1. Use autoreconf instead of calling all the autotools.

2. In order to make this work, delete the workaround for an old automake bug 
in Makefile.am, and just use AC_LOCAL_AMFLAGS. This workaround is 
unnecessary with at least automake 1.7. It no longer works with automake 
1.4. I don't know whether it works with 1.6, which is no longer packaged in 
my GNU/Linux distribution.
