Since I'm busy replying to myself, I'd like to note that Anjuta
(http://anjuta.sf.net/) and Glade (http://glade.gnome.org/) are
excellent catalysts for getting started with autotools (Autoconf,
Automake, and Libtool). They work well and play nice with CVS, Vim,
and all the tools I'm already familiar with.
