I recently upgraded top OpenSuse 13.1, and my old build of povray isn't
working anymore (something about a missing .so), so I decided to build
the latest version.

I didn't have autoconf nor automake installed, and prebuild.sh gave
proper messages about them, so I installed them. However, now I'm getting
a lot of messages like:

configure.ac:302: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body

/usr/share/automake-1.13/am/library.am: warning: 'libpovray.a': linking libraries
using a non-POSIX
/usr/share/automake-1.13/am/library.am: archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in
'configure.ac'
source/Makefile.am:32:   while processing library 'libpovray.a'

configure.ac:295: warning: The macro `AC_LANG_SAVE' is obsolete.
configure.ac:295: warning: The macro `AC_LANG_C' is obsolete.
configure.ac:295: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete.
configure.ac:295: warning: The macro `AC_LANG_RESTORE' is obsolete.

In the end, no 'configure' script appeared. I don't really know what
causes this.
