We should have as raw files as possible in the svn (just like it is right now). But when you do 'make dist' (at least for the SoftHSM when creating the tar-ball), you will get the ./configure and Makefile.in included and thereby no need for automake, autoconf, etc.

I will add a README.svn for those who build from svn.
