Ah, OK.  In XEmacs's setup, if it's in the "bare source" tarball, it's
in CVS.  So that's my confusion.

Ugh.  Are you sure there's nothing in there that's specific to your
environment, including the particular versions of the autotools you
happen to have installed?  I can see advantages (eg, if it means we
use the versions of libtool etc that have been used successfully at
CMU) and disadvantages (if versions get mixed) in that.

That will work for me.
