Jack suggested a ./bootstrap.sh, but this error has me worried that that
might fix your issue --- the version of autoconf you need to bootstrap xastir 
shouldn't look for configure.in, but configure.ac.  If Jack's suggestion 
doesn't fix everything for you, you should try this:

   autoconf --version

It should tell you that you're using a relatively recent version of 
autoconf (I'm using 2.57).  If I recall correctly, only really old versions
like 2.13 will look for configure.in instead of configure.ac.

Are you building a version of xastir you've checked out of CVS, or a 
development snapshot, or a stable release?
