Thanks, the gitcompile script works fine. I followed the procedure in
INSTALL:

        aclocal
        gettextize
        autoheader
        automake --foreign --copy --add-missing
        autoconf
        ./configure
        make



Perhaps we could either update this sequence (but I have no idea how :)
), or delete the procedure and just mention the gitcompile script (that
one I can post as a patch).

Thanks,


Pavel.
