Yep, you need gmake in the developer Makefiles, for automatic
dependency tracking. The `Makefile.in's generated with `make dist',
however, don't required GNU make, and include the dependencies
generated by the developer.

You may --disable-static at configure-time, if you prefer. I had
thought of making this the default, but later I decided not to do it
yet.

Nope, that's only so that libtool can create a static (non-PIC) and a
shared (PIC) version of the code.

It should be working by now.

BTW, if you don't feel like updating autoconf and automake by now, you
can get your build to proceed by running:

gmake AUTOCONF="./missing autoconf" AUTOMAKE="./missing automake" \
      ACLOCAL="./missing aclocal" AUTOHEADER="./missing autoheader"

But I'd first get the original version of any autoconf-related file,
since the missing script will just touch any file that seems to be
out-of-date.
