[autogen.sh/Debian] Errors similar to those reported by others.

[karlheg at bittersweet dot inetarena dot com (Karl M. Hegbloom)]

 CVS update as of an hour ago.  Turned out that "aclocal.m4" was *not*
 being generated due to a duplicate macro definition brought about by
 there being a "qthreads.m4" already in "/usr/share/aclocal".  The
 solution was to do:

% sudo mv /usr/share/aclocal/qthreads.m4 /tmp
karlheg@bittersweet:/usr/local/src/anoncvs.cygnus.com/guile-core
% aclocal -I .
karlheg@bittersweet:/usr/local/src/anoncvs.cygnus.com/guile-core
% ls aclocal.m4
aclocal.m4

 I have the Debian Guile 1:1.3.4-3 packages installed, and they have
 installed the "qthreads.m4" I had to move aside.

 What can we do to fix this?  Or should I just move that aside anytime
 I need to rerun the `autogen.sh'?

 Here's a log of the session, showing the errors...  Way down at the
 bottom is the diff between the version that was in /usr/share/aclocal
 and the one from guile-core CVS.

A few months in the laboratory often saves several hours at the library.
