  That probably makes sense - at some point all the Makefile.in's were removed 
since they are generated by automake - unclear why things generated by aclocal 
or libtool should be in the repository (and I have to admit that I get the 
problem of running autogen.sh on my system and those files being changed, 
despite the fact that I haven't made any changes, and svn wants to cmmit those 
files).

  That doesn't really help the issue of incompatible changes - my only thought 
there would be any time those files do get changed, perhaps note in the file or 
changelog what version of the tools were used, eg:

update configure.ac for .., tested with autoconf 2.63, automake 1.10, libtool 
... (and so on)

  That doesn't necessarily fix the problem, but perhaps at least makes it a 
little easier to figure out cause after the fact - if I see my versions are very 
old, I might be able to make a guess that is the cause vs something just broken 
in the file itself.
