Details:

I ran "./bootstrap" in a fresh checkout of Octave, and it failed with this
message (see the full log attached):

automake: cannot open < doc/interpreter/images.mk: No such file or directory

Apparently automake is following the "include" directive in Makefile.am, but
the makefiles referred to are generated, so of course they do not yet exist. 
Makefile.in was not created, so I cannot build.

I'm using Octave revision 65c14c052fe3 with a checkout of gnulib revision
882da58ae6f34b4637240739ae37a1b5efd39cf6 manually placed at "gnulib/", on
Fedora 13.  Automake is automake-1.11.1-1.fc13.noarch.
