What I do to build from cvs, is just run the commands at the end of the 
reconf script separately, which will be:
aclocal
autoconf
automake --foreign --add-missing --copy

It uses the latest versions from my system (Cygwin). There may be some 
warnings, but I've generally had success with later versions than the 
script specifies, however caveat emptor.

It's on the Task List to update the configure system to the latest 
tools, but it takes time.
