[SM-Discuss] installwatch issues again

Hi,

it's me whining about running installwatch during BUILD again ;)
Every spell using autogen.sh in BUILD tracks three files in
/usr/share/automake-1.8, since autogen.sh links to them and that makes
installwatch track them.
I found two workarounds, both of which aren't very nice,
1.) use the following instead of autogen.sh:
local OLD_LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD"   &&
unset LD_PRELOAD                     &&
./autogen.sh                         &&
export LD_PRELOAD="$OLD_LD_PRELOAD"  &&
2.) run autogen.sh in PRE_BUILD (has the added side effect that sorcery
asks about local configure options then)

I'm not sure when that started, i think it may be related to the
automake version. I'd say we should go for option 2.)
