        I forgot to say that I added the 

        autogen.sh

        script that calls automake/libtoolize/aclocal/autoheader/autoconf
with the proper arguments and in the proper order.

        I personally prefer to commit the files generated by these tools
to avoid that kind of nuisance. Also, some contributors know nothing
about automake & friends or have obsolete versions. Commiting the files
helps a lot in that respect. However, since you did not commit the 
generated files in the first place, I respected that choice and wrote
autogen.sh instead.

        Done.
