Build tools, they're good for your heart....

The build box was upgraded this weekend. I think I've caught everything,
and snapshots should roll off the assembly line like hotcakes, or, er,
whatever. We'll see.

The config.guess & friends were being excluded. It was a matter of tools.
I'm now using:

$ tools
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.5
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.14 (1.1220.2.195 2005/02/12 12:12:33)

Those are all newer than before. I'll be updating INSTALL.CVS to reflect
that.

The missing files came home:

$ sh `which autodistcomp` ../../../freetds-0.64.dev.20050417.tar.gz
freetds-0.64.dev.20050417/README

And, in case anyone wants to check my homework, I've attached my
autodistcomp script for your convenience. Please complain if your mileage
varies.
