Well, the use of autogen.sh is only unusual here since it's a release
tarball.  I've seen it distributed in CVS pulls of packages many
times.  I wonder why they didn't just run the autotools and make a
proper release tarball?  Maybe someone can send an email upstream and
see why there isn't a proper release in a more standard location.

Anyway, as long as someone can find out that the API/ABI hasn't
changed drastically, then this looks promising.
