Since long time I am *always* unning reautoconf.

No, for the Japanese we add pxdvi and pmetapost (Japanese versions)
to the build process, and that is done by adding code to the
.am etc parts, needing reautoconf.

Same goes for Debian packages that also run reautoconf

Ok, that means we need AUtomake >= 1.12.2 ...uff.

I can, that is not the problem. For Debian I cannot influence it,
and for the Japanese builders I don't know what they have on their
machines. SO I will try to pre-create everything for them.
