You need to run "autoreconf -i" to install missing files such as these.
I'll fix the web page to mention this (rather than just saying to run
"autoreconf").

And you need to use autoreconf from autoconf 2.50 or newer (the very
first version of the CVS page failed to mention that, and you may
have read that version).
