I just checked: m4/Makefile.am is in the repo and that configure creates
Makefile.in from it.

That should not be required.  In fact I accidently deleted my whole repo
yesterday (and lost some stashes :-() and thus started from scratch
without any problems.  I always do VPATH builds and I use automake 1.11.6.

Just a reminder to consider re-adding mail based keyserver support.

No, I like to have all required stuff in the repo.
