Gah!  When did this go wrong?  I had noticed a problem, but assumed it
was me.  

Looking over the main Makefile.am, I see config.sub et. al. aren't
mentioned, nor were they ever.  I have to think I upgraded automake and
now "make dist" doesn't automatically include them anymore.  

"info automake dist" says the command "automake --help" lists the
automatically distributed files.  Here's that list from the build box:

Files which are automatically distributed, if found:
  ABOUT-GNU           README              config.h.top
ltcf-cxx.sh
  ABOUT-NLS           THANKS              config.rpath
ltcf-gcj.sh
  AUTHORS             TODO                config.sub          ltconfig
  BACKLOG             acconfig.h          configure           ltmain.sh
  COPYING             acinclude.m4        configure.ac        mdate-sh
  COPYING.DOC         aclocal.m4          configure.in        missing
  COPYING.LESSER      ansi2knr.1          depcomp
mkinstalldirs
  COPYING.LIB         ansi2knr.c          elisp-comp          py-compile
  ChangeLog           compile             install-sh          stamp-vti
  INSTALL             config.guess        libversion.in
texinfo.tex
  NEWS                config.h.bot        ltcf-c.sh           ylwrap

Transforming that list, I asked pax(1) what we have and what we don't.
That list is appended.  Quite a lot is missing, as you can see.  

The build box is going to NetBSD 2.0 RSN, maybe this weekend, and with
that its autotools will be upgraded again.  I'll make sure the snapshot
works thereafter.  

Thank you for pointing out this problem.  I hope it rains all weekend.
