 Currently the docs state that you can clone the source, install
 dependencies and the run configure.

 This is not true, as the configure script is not (anymore?) provided via
 code, but just the configure.ac files etc.

 I would add a new section to the documentation where the necessary
 commands are listed. For me it worked with the following ones, but I am
 really not sure what was necessary (apart from libtoolize and autoconf)

 {{{
 libtoolize --force
 aclocal
 autoheader
 autoconf
 }}}
