Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad!
I cannot stress enough how badly this idea sucks.
No package which uses libtool and automake should even *think* about
adding all its junk to CVS. We get away with it with the peers (popt etc.)
only because they're not in active development.
Please either:
(a) run autogen.sh in abi and nextgen.sh in abiword-plugins *before*
running your script; or
(b) have your script run autogen.sh in abi and nextgen.sh in
abiword-plugins
I will be removing autogen.sh shortly.
