[referencer] Basic question

Glen,

What you're looking at is a standard GNU autotools build setup.  You build
it with ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make.  If you haven't done this kind
of thing before then you probably don't have the required packages, look at
the list of dependencies at [1].

(Presumably you've checked this out of version control: the difference
between what's in version control and what's in a release tarball is simply
that for the tarball the "autogen.sh" step was already run.)
