I'll check that.

This a problem with cvs checkout. The dates of the files are not
restored, hence various autoconf/automake/aclocal/autoheader occur.

Yes. After a make dist, the situation is clean. What interfers is the
fact that new Makefiles contain rules to run autoconf/automake/aclocal/autoheader
automatically if you changed something in .in files or .am files. Since the
.tar.gz distribution saves file modifications times, it does not
try to run them. Since cvs checkout does not restore modification dates,
they are run.

Here are the versions I used:
[loic@loic check]$ autoheader --version
Autoconf version 2.13
[loic@loic check]$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4a

[loic@loic check]$ autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13
[loic@loic check]$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3.3 (1.385.2.181 1999/07/02 15:49:11)
[loic@loic check]$
and you must get these to run everything properly.
I hope this is acceptable to everyone. I emphasize, again, that this
is only needed if you checkout the tree. .tar.gz distribution do *not*
depend on having these tools.
