Typing "./autogen.sh" or, as somebody else recommended, "./autogen.sh 
--disable-nls" results in the question: "Are you sure . is a valid source 
directory?". -- Of course I am not sure.

Typing "./configure" results in the message: "configure: error: 
(common/game.c) in . or ..".  (There was no "common" directory in the archive.)
