You need a newer version of automake and/or autoconf.

Whoever checked in psiconv, somehow made some auto-generated files 
newer than some source files; so autoconf/automake tries to remake
them (I only just found out, when I tried a fresh checkout). That
is not nice :-(

I have attached a still-not-applied patch (update of libtool) which 
hopefully will also resolve this issue. But it remains a little 
difficult without CVS write-access to get this completely right. 
Whoever applies this: can you please check when you have committed 
this whether a fresh checkout tries to call aclocal, autoconf or 
friends when you do `./configure; make' ? 

Thanks,
  Frodo
