Oh yeah, I took that out temporarily.  I noticed in a few other packages
put the cvs2cl.pl script in the root of the project.  If we choose to go
the cvs2cl and not ChangeLog route, I think that might be better.  I
know off hand that redhat doesn't install cvs2cl by default in their
developer/workstation set of packages.

I get:

configure.ac:13: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not
`AC_CONFIG_HEADER'

Which I'm honestly not too sure why.  Because the autoconf docs say to
use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS with autoconf.  I'll do more hunting.
