This was some crappy stuff in the Makefile that would 
attempt to regenerate the ./configure script if it was out 
of date with respect to configure.in (for whatever reason). 
Thus, it would try to run autoconf.

I fixed this in CVS a couple days ago; you'll see the fix 
in the 1.93.3 release.

Can you test this with the current CVS version of Expat?  The build process has changed a fair bit, and suspect this may have changed.

Thanks!
