You can create empty versions of these files to appease the tool. (Per the thread topic, they would go in the repository.) Or, maybe you have a use for some of these files, so they could have actual content. It appears autoreconf doesn't know how to pass the "--foreign" flag to automake, which makes it ignore the lack of these files. I tried "autoreconf -W no-gnu", but that doesn't help.
