I did forget to thanks you all..
Finally I know much more about how to use the autotools and what is 
actually done by each tool.
Thanks to you all for the "bootstrap".

BTW: someone said at that time that "autoreconf is not so useful as it 
can't install automake files with the correct tags".. at least in my 
case "autoreconf -i" solves perfectly the problem (I prefer not to store 
any "generated" file in my CVS... anyway I'm the only workign at it so 
"all the people working on it can use the autotools"), or maybe "-i" is 
a switch that whas not available at that time 0=)

Thanks, again.
