No configure file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fetch the source from http://cardpeek.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
2. As specified by http://pannetrat.com/Cardpeek/Install/, try to do 
"./configure"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Configuration is supposed to happen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
There is no "configure" file in the repro. Browsing at 
https://code.google.com/p/cardpeek/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk we can see that 
there is a configure.ac but no configure file.

This is normal. Many open source projects proceed this way. The SVN repo 
contains all the "source" files needed to generate everything else: you can 
generate "configure" files from "configure.ac" by typing "aclocal" followed by 
"autoreconf -i" (this assumes you have autotools installed).

If you need a distribution-ready version of the source code, it's better to use 
the latest tarball available from http://downloads.pannetrat.com

Then the docs, which say to "./configure", are wrong.
