autoreconf fails on debian.

There a previous discussion on this problem 
on this mailing list : see
http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2007-May/003010.html
it seemed liked it worked out for Okajima, but
it wasn't clear how he resolved it finally.

however he wrote a nice wiki on the subject of compiling
XDirectFB on debian :
http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/XDirectFB:About

at the end theres TIPS :

IMPORTANT TIPS: In current version, autoreconf fails. Modify files a
bit. Basicaly, what you have to do is change SOURCES -> SRCS /
@APP_MAN_SUFFIX@ -> man

and add 

AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_PDFDOC], [ test x = y ])

AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_LINUXDOC], [ test x = y ])

to configure.am


---------------------------- end of wiki page  ----------------

now 
1. there's no such file configure.am
   so I guess he meant configure.ac
2. SOURCES -> SRCS / @APP_MAN_SUFFIX@ -> man
   this dont belong in configure.whatever
   maybe this should be in hw/makefile.am  ??

3. after we manually patched these file/files,
   should we run autoreconf
   (cause it still wont work)

I will really appreciate any hints on this, I'm really
stuck with this.

and if someone tells me how to make it compile, I will
make a patch for it to work straight from the repository.
or at least update the wiki to make it more clear for simple
people who haven't learn the M4 language.


Thanks in advance

Asaf
