I decided autogen.sh should be shipped with the tarball, thereby 
sidestepping any dependency issues.  Philosophy: a tarball distro should 
be able to produce a tarball distro.  I mean, why shouldn't it?  Why 
should going through a bunch of Darcs rigamarole be necessary to obtain 
the keys to the kingdom?  The only barriers are distributing autogen.sh 
and ChangeLog.  I've pushed the autogen.sh fix to Darcs.  I'm going to 
rewrite the ChangeLog and Darcs stuff so that it uses the extant 
ChangeLog if Darcs isn't available.  This will also have another 
sidestepping benefit, keeping Darcs from crapping on the ccmake 
configuration screen.
