we have autogen.sh to deal with autoreconf. let's recommend to use
it instead of direct autoreconf.
These instructions are currently correct when people download the
published tarballs, and this change would make them incorrect, or
unnecessarily make people rerun autoconf & friends at the least.
I suggest you document both build cases, e.g. some text for people who
build from git sources, vs. those folks who do distribution
integration and never build from git.
