auto* pre-configure process

[Pete Wyckoff]

I was trying to add some documentation explaining how to go from the CVS
tree to a buildable distribution.  The process is mostly:

    aclocal -I m4
    autoheader
    autoconf
    automake

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Running autoconf, I always get the complaint:

    autoconf: Undefined macros:
    configure.in:182:   AC_FIND_XBAE

Should there be a definition for AC_FIND_XBAE in m4/xbae.m4?  There is a
definition for ICE_FIND_Xbae, but I'd like some confirmation before
going and changing this area.  (Also HAVE_Xbae -> HAVE_XBAE there too,
perhaps.)

Secondly, automake complains that required files are missing:

    mkinstalldirs, missing, INSTALL, COPYING

Should those get checked into the CVS?  Should my install of automake
have brought them along?  (I've been copying them out of a distribution
tarball, myself.)
