When I attempt (on windows in MSYS) an equivalent build (adding the
include dirs for boost and ASIO)

Administrator@GAMMA2KVM /c/src/abitrunk/abi
$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/src/abitrunk/libs/boost/ -I/c/src/abitrunk/libs/asio/"
./autog
en.sh
+ Entering source dir . ...
+ Running libtoolize --force --copy
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
MINGW32_NT-5.0
+ Win32 detected, skipping autoheader
./autogen.sh: /bin/automake: No such file or directory
+ Running autoheader ...

* warning: possible errors while running automake - check autogen.err

+ Creating aclocal.m4: aclocal -I ./plugins/collab -I ./plugins/collab

+ Running automake ...

+ Creating configure...

* warning: possible errors while running automake - check autogen.err

+ Leaving source dir . ...
Running ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode ...
./autogen.sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

Here's the thing that confuses me - I have automake 2.59 and autoconf
1.8.2 already installed and in the MSYS path - it shouldn't have trouble
finding them.

Any clues?
