Just to add some actual information to this thread:
CentOS 5.6:
$ hg clone https://liblouisutdml.googlecode.com/hg/ liblouisutdml
autogen.sh contains:
#!/bin/sh
#
# autogen.sh glue for liblouis
#
# Requires: automake 1.9, autoconf 2.57+
# Conflicts: autoconf 2.13
set -e
# Refresh GNU autotools toolchain.

Using it doesn't throw up anything too unsightly:
$ cd liblouisutdml
$ ./autogen.sh
Cleaning autotools files...
Running autoreconf...
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.
configure.ac: installing `build-aux/install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `build-aux/missing'
doc/Makefile.am:16: installing `build-aux/mdate-sh'
doc/Makefile.am:16: installing `build-aux/texinfo.tex'
gnulib/Makefile.am: installing `build-aux/depcomp'
./configure works fine then complains I don't have liblouis installed. Looks
fine to me, and I'm not going to make any effort to actually make it build.
