Thanks, I've done that now.

Personally I do think it's useful to have a top level autogen.sh; it's
almost standard to have one, so I think it's a nice cue for new
developers.  (If we didn't have it, I guess we should instead document
our canonical build process in HACKING; that would be OK too IMO.)
