I'm not sure why autogen is needed for testing, the
only thing you need is dejagnu and then "make -k check"
just works. (I have dejagnu-1.4.2-6 on my RedHat 8.0 machine).
But you also have to do a full build and doing it in maintainer-mode is
best. Those require automake, autogen, and autoheader.

Note that the "total waste of time" was *your* wording, not mine! I was
agreeing with it due to the reason Geert gave yesterday: tracking down the
ACAS failures most likely will duplicate work already done.
