You can create empty versions of these files to appease the tool.  (Per
the thread topic, they would go in the repository.)  Or, maybe you have
a use for some of these files, so they could have actual content.

It appears autoreconf doesn't know how to pass the "--foreign" flag to
automake, which makes it ignore the lack of these files.  I tried
"autoreconf -W no-gnu", but that doesn't help.
