When updating my sources from CVS today I noticed that configure.in

order to use the updates in the build process, is this correct?
Normally, the generated Makefiles have rules to rebuild configure from
configure.in. So I suppose it's the same for pan. A single "make" will normally rerun everything needed.
BTW, the INSTALL file says nothing about using autogen.sh, which
might be very confusing for someone who hasn't read the pan website
carefully.
I have the same problem on other projects. In my mind, autogen.sh is a tool that only CVS users need. More "standard" users (using the tarballs) receive a generated configure script. So
autogen.sh is not necessary for them.
I solved this by adding a README.dev file (README for developers) which describe the full process.
