Two separate instances here:

    1) Developers/Users running CVS
    2) Users running a released version

We intend to have the normal "configure;make;make install" thing
work in the releases.

Only those running CVS will need to run this extra "bootstrap.sh"
script and will have to keep up with the developers in terms of the
automake/autoconf versions.

At least that is the current intention.  I've seen that even after I
build the "configure" script, running it invokes "missing" and
"automake" at times.  Not sure why that is.  Chuck?  Jack?
