> Add "foreign" to "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()" in "configure.ac" to prevent autoreconf complaining about "missing" files. Autotools projects have historically required these to be present, but their absense is less critical these days.               
> {code}
> $ autoreconf -vfi
> ...
> Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
> Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found
> Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
> Makefile.am: error: required file './ChangeLog' not found
> ...
> {code}
> Also removed the "--foreign" argument from automake in bootstrap.sh
