I got past that problem by redownloading the HEAD, and a 2.1 tar. I've 
then autoreconf'd the CVS package and copied the missing files of the 
HEAD from the 2.1 tar.

The order of how I managed things were :
- Redownload HEAD and 2.1 (unknown date)
- Under MinGW, `autoreconf -i' (with installed autoconf 2.59 and 
automake 1.5.6): fails
- Copy missing files from 2.1 to HEAD
( argz.c, lt__strl.c, lt__dirent.c, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libtoolize.in)
- `autoreconf -i' some more
- Configure under MinGW (`configure --prefix=/mingw')
- Try to build (`make'), fails complaining about missing `config-h.in'.
- Copy the file
- Build: success, make check success
- make clean (distclean target not supported ?), configure once more and 
make check some more.

I don't call that very 'reproduceable'; I think it's more of somewhere 
where I messed up and got into problems.
