This is correct; ./configure is not needed right after ./autogen.sh That said, I'm not certain if the Virtual Machine section should have the compiling commands. My first instinct would be to have the download + virtualbox instructions... possibly even in chapter 1 or 2, or possibly in the Requirements section of chapter 3... and then to direct people to the normal compiling instructions. A proper job of this stuff would be 5-10 hours, though.
