For some reason, git doesn't work for me via autogen when I'm at work. So, I am 
using an independent gnulib repository.

You can set one up by ...

        git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib

Then to run autogen using the local gnulib ...

        export GNULIB_SRCDIR="/Users/bpabbott/Development/git/gnulib"
        ./autogen.sh --no-git --gnulib-srcdir=$GNULIB_SRCDIR
