Ah-ha!  Using Makefile.in directly like that is not possible any
more.  The reason is that we've templatised it.  If you look, you'll
see that there are perl fragments within {- and -} delimiters.  Line
33 is right in the middle of one of those.

The answer is that you MUST configure first.  We could probably
clarify that a bit louder (and when I'm looking in INSTALL right now,
I'm noticing it's lagging behind on the changes.  To be fixed!)

erik> GNU make throws a differently worded error on same line.

Yup.  The answer will remain "don't do that, configure first!"

Yes.

Ok, that's to look into.  Mind giving us a log?
