Unable to run r13574 - missing libgw-engine.so.0

[Derek Atkins]

Nah, the build system will re-run configure..  so you only need to rerun
it when you want to change your configuration options.  You DO have to
run autogen.sh by hand whenever a directory is added to the build, but
other than that the system will take care of itself.
