HEAD does not containg configure script

[Cesar Rabak]

doing a default cloning of repo brings insuficient code for compiling as the configure script is not available.

[Gary R. Van Sickle]

Hi @csrabak : That's intentional and correct. ./configure is a generated artifact, and hence does not belong under source control. It gets generated when you do an autoreconf, as is the normal practice with the auto{make,conf} build system.
A "make dist" will generate this file and include it in the generated distributable; this is where you probably have seen an already-existing ./configure file.
Appreciate the report. Closing with this comment.
