Ah, I didn't realize you were running autogen.sh for the included
libraries.

You really shouldn't build tdb and tevent standalone from the s4 source tarball. If
you'd like to build them standalone I would recommend downloading the
related individual project tarballs.

We should probably strip out the build files for the other projects in
the standalone s4 release tarballs.
