This is what I get when I check out the darcs repo and run autoconf:

configure.ac:26: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:64: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.ac:101: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
configure.ac:136: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE

If however I run aclocal first, or just run 'autoreconf -vi', then I do
not get any errors.

Cheers,
Ralf
