Compiling the CVS head

[Olaf Faaland]

Hi,

I had the problem with a missing src/doc/design/version.texi earlier this=
=20
month; Derek Atkins replied with this:

Running configure as described worked for me.  In case it doesn't work fo=
r=20
you, for some reason, I also found that creating that file with 'touch'=20
allowed the build to continue so I could get to playing while waiting for=
 a=20
better answer.  The binary produced this way seemed to work fine.
