That one is called boot-strapping and is the same for many projects  
using autoconf. For convenience reasons, it's done before creating  
tarballs. That's probably the reason you are not used to it.

So to create the configure script (and other files), either run "chmod  
+x bootstrap; ./bootstrap" or just "autoreconf -f -i".
