You need to run it with --enable-maintainer-mode at least once, in
order to get the pre-built flex and bison files to be created.  Then
you can disable it to stop the verbose debugging.  It's done this
way so people don't have to have the very up-to-date versions of
flex and bison that I rely on, but can use the generated files.

i.e. use this sequence
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
make
make dist # just to be sure.  It may moan about missing things

then rebuild for a regular developer:
./configure
make clean
make

and you should be ok... as long as I don't change any automake
stuff in SVN, since without maintainer mode, it won't get re-run
automatically.
