Comment 9 for bug 992047

Here's an updated patch that should apply cleanly against trunk. I've actually come round to the idea of automatically running the configure script at the end of the autogen.sh script. It seems like it's pretty standard behaviour in other projects.

To run autogen without configure:

export NOCONFIGURE=true && ./autogen.sh

Alternatively, it should be possible to set up and configure an out-of-source build by doing something like this from the root directory:

mkdir -p build && cd build
../autogen.sh --enable-dbusapi --enable-<whatever>

The new configuration seems to work on Ubuntu 12.10 amd64.

@suv: Please could you test and report back with a transcript of any errors?
