Excellent!!  I've modified the docs to make it clear that
automake is required when downloading using "git".  Thanks very much,
you've found an important bug (bad docs) so we could fix it!!

Wow, that's old.  It *might* work by editing "configure.ac" and changing
"2.67" to "2.63", but that might cause subtle errors too.

Not at all, but you'd need to use a tarball instead of trying to use the
"git" repository version directly.   Hmmm.

Okay, new plan: I plan to release soon a version "0.9.3", which you
(and others) can test.  This version would be useful by itself, but it
would also be a "release candidate" for version 1.0.0.

I'll try to merge the install directions, too.  Right now the info shows up
in *four* places (both tutorials, README and INSTALL).  That seems... excessive.
