Doesn't work:

~~~~
$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** YOU'RE USING AUTOCONF 2.13. We suggest updating.
*** autoconf 2.5x works best for now, we will drop
*** support for autoconf 2.13 soon.
*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
    environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating list of subdirectories
*** Creating configure.in
*** Creating aclocal.m4
configure.in:617: warning: underquoted definition of GLIB_SIZEOF
[...]
configure.in:750: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest
autoconf/status.m4:848: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...

aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1

The same error even when I accidently erased autoconf:

~~~~
$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

/bin/sh: autoconf: command not found
*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
    environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating list of subdirectories
[same output and error]

Thanks,
