I was just cursing you for this, as I was unable to bootstrap. Of
course, that was not actually your fault :-p

I kept getting crap like this:
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package
"Tie::RefHash::Nestable" at /usr/local/bin/automake line 517.
autoreconf: failed to run automake: No such file or directory

My perl is 5.6.0, so I think requiring this package is an automake screw
up, they apparently want perl-5.5 or greater, but Tie::RefHash::Nestable
is not in 5.6.0, perhaps it is in 5.6.1, it is definitely in 5.8.0 and
later (I got my copy from 5.8.1).

Looks like it is working now :)
