FWIW it was my understanding that this was intentionally not executable, the instructions in INSTALL explicitly say to run it via 'sh autogen.sh' for this reason

why wouldn't it be? it sounds like a weird choice, and not uncommon to have exeutable autogen.sh?

so that checking out the source doesn't add an executable file with arbitrary shell code into . (which some people have in their PATH...). I didn't make the original choice, but I know it was intentional.

I would argue that people that have . in their shell deserve what they get and that most open source projects out there have executable autogen.sh.

I can revert it if you care, but I think it's better that way.
