Configure error with Kerberos V5 Release 1.12.1 from the github repository

Thanks, that did the trick.  Like I said, maybe I was having a brain dead moment. ;)

Maybe I'm just having a brain dead moment, but the git downloaded release will not complete the configure script. It throws an error saying it is missing include/autoconf.h.in. I look in the include directory and the file is indeed missing.  As a check, I downloaded the tarball and several autoconf files exist in include.  If I copy these files into my git tree, configure/make run cleanly.  Am I missing something or were these maybe overlooked in the github repository? Not a big deal for me since the tarball worked just fine, but thought I'd throw this out there in case someone else might be struggling with the issue when building the current release from github.

Some generated files are intentionally not checked into the git
repository.  See

for directions for building from checked-out sources from the git
repository.
