[Xastir] Problem to install from last CVS

[Bob Nielsen]

This reminds me of a question I have been meaning to ask for some
time--under what conditions is it necessary to re-run the bootstrap.sh
script and create a new configure?

I noticed today that when running 'make clean' after getting a cvs
update, configure was run automagically.
