I was unable to get stuff working. I must confess that my grasp of auto*
is somewhat shaky: After upgrading libtool to 1.9f, automake to 1.9.3, and
autoconf to 2.59 I essentially tried running all the following commands in
various orders: libtoolize, autoupdate, autoreconf, aclocal, and of course
autoconf/configure/make. To no avail, always getting

libtool: compile: ignoring unknown tag CXX
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 1.9f, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.

autoupdate was noisy:

autoupdate: unknown set: .: AC:acinclude.m4:m4_location(AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS)
autoupdate: unknown set: .: AC:acinclude.m4:AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS
autoupdate: unknown set: .: AC:acinclude.m4:m4_location(KDE_PATH_X_DIRECT)
.... etc

as was aclocal:

configure.in:234: warning: underquoted definition of KDE_CHECK_SMOKE
configure.in:319: warning: underquoted definition of MDL_HAVE_OPENGL
configure.in:431: warning: underquoted definition of MDL_CHECK_LIBM

.... etc

To sum up: I am lost. I would appreciate any help in the form of "do this"
or "read that".

Thanks,
