autogen.sh produces the Makefile.in's, which are necessary for the configure
script itself, and some more files for make. To run autogen.sh you'll need
GNU autoconf and GNU automake (use recent versions! autoconf 2.53 and
automake 1.6.1 are known to work).
GNU autoconf and GNU automake: at least autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.10 are
requird, newer is better. But don't use automake 1.12 or newer for creating
distribution archives: it will work but lack "de-ANSI-fucation" support in the
generated Makefile's! Stick with automake 1.11.x for this purpose ...
So automake 1.11.x and autoconf 2.67+ is recommended.
Again: "end users" do not need this step!
Again: "end users" do not need this step and neither need GNU autoconf nor GNU
automake at all!
