Yeah, oddly enough that works.

Hmm... Let's look at that autogen.sh:
  #!/bin/sh
  #
  # This is hacky, because there are so many damn versions
  # of autoconf/automake.  It works with Debian woody, at least.
  #
 
  echo "aclocal..."
  $ACLOCAL || aclocal-1.7 || aclocal-1.5 || aclocal || exit 1

Waitaminute... I ain't got no ACLOCAL env variable! If I run, say:

$ $FOOBAR || echo hi || echo bob || echo foo

I get nothin'. So, it's not running aclocal at all unless you set ACLOCAL:

$ ACLOCAL=aclocal sh ./autogen.sh
