I'm not happy about this change either -- I just ran into it. I did the 
'configure; make; make install' dance, and suddenly I run into an error.
I like working with release tarballs but I don't like the experience to 
be different when I do a checkout. The least I expect is to run into an 
error message that doesn't tell me anything.

Regards,
