Fixed in -pre3.

Good idea, -pre3 now uses an autogen.sh adapted from Classpath. This
also means that configure is no longer run automatically by autogen.sh,
by the way.

Probably not, but I haven't figured out yet how to prevent that. It
seems like automake will create it in every case, though I could be
mistaken and something's wrong in Makefile.am.

Gjdoc can use zealous testing, keep it coming :)
