Re: auto* pre-configure process

Try the --copy option of automake. That'll solve the missing files issue.

Also it looks like someone who builds from CVS encounters problems if
Xbae is not around. I probably goofed up with the ICE_ macro - an old
version. I'd have to check, but I'm working on the 8-bit issue for Dag
for now.
