Ignoring the previous issues, I've now gotten to the point where I need to run
"autoreconf" in the generated project's directory:

>mlp> autoreconf
configure.ac:16: required file `./compile' not found
configure.ac:16:   `automake --add-missing' can install `compile'
configure.ac:9: required file `./config.guess' not found
configure.ac:9:   `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess'
configure.ac:851: required file `./config.rpath' not found
configure.ac:9: required file `./config.sub' not found
configure.ac:9:   `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub'
configure.ac:3: required file `./install-sh' not found
configure.ac:3:   `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh'
configure.ac:3: required file `./missing' not found
configure.ac:3:   `automake --add-missing' can install `missing'
libposix/Makefile.am:112: libposix_la_SOURCES must be set with `='
before using `+='
libposix/Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found
libposix/Makefile.am:   `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp'

Since the automake invocation is rolled into autoreconf, it would seem
to me that
these error messages are wrong.  They need to be citing the program that I am
running, viz. "autoreconf" and they should be telling me what I can do
within the
context of autoreconf not the buried command that is having an issue.
