Now it is clear to me. I did not understand the extra magic.
Thank you. I was relying on this:

OK. I'm going to straight out solicit some help. Energetic people
with an hour or so to burn, please CVS-get this tiny project:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/autogen \
get blocksort
(no password) look at this page:
http://autogen.sf.net/blocksort.html
and suggest ways to make it rock solid and as simple as possible.
Obviously, I won't be using autoconf substitutions in SUBDIRS
anymore. Hopefully, that will also fix the duplicate file issue, too.
Oh, the files of interest in "blocksort":
configure.ac
Makefile.am
cfg/bootstrap
cfg/bootstrap.local
Especially note some hackery that I hate in cfg/bootstrap.
Immediately after libtoolizing, I move the config.guess,
config.sub and ltmain.sh files into the cfg directory.
If I don't, it fails. If I do, I get sick. Shouldn't
libtoolize have a config aux-directory option? What am
I missing this time?
