Thanks. Any reason this script can't be streamlined to this?

        set -x
        aclocal || exit 1
        autoheader || exit 2
        automake --add-missing || exit 3
        autoreconf || exit 4
        ./configure ${1+"$_at_"} || exit 5

The reason for final incantation is here:

I do the "set -x" thing for several of my own wrappers whose purpose is
to correctly perform some special incantation. It's succinct and actually
recites all the command arguments, versus the plain "echo command_name"
in the script as it is.

Cheers,
