Use autoreconf, not autoconf&&automake&&etc in autogen.sh 

The autoreconf tool deals much better with detecting which tools to
use on your particular platform, handling cases where your
install-sh script gets stable, and lots of other little tricky
issues.

We still fall back to autoconf&&automake&&etc in the case where
"`which autoreconf 2>/dev/null`" says something we can't run.

This is the first change of the 0.2.3.x series.

  o Minor build changes:

    - Use autoreconf to launch autoconf, automake, etc from autogen.sh.

      This is more robust against some of the failure modes associated

      with running the autotools chain on its own.
