The autoconf bit is probably my fault. I probably built the release in question
at home. I'm not sure why we get the chmod errors, I don't see them at home.
The Makefile has been set to specifically ignore the errors, so I assume that
it is sometimes expected. The nightly is indeed in need of a tune up. All of
the prefix stuff at the top could be replaced by ensuring that the PATH finds
the proper tools. Then all of the individual auto* runs should be replaced by a
CVSMake, it will decend into the various packages, this is how the releases are
now made. Ideally the tarball should be made with a "make dist".
