Hpux && snapshot && ./configure

It’s been pointed out here a few times that you have to run autoconf
before you can configure and compile the current ruby snapshot. Suppose
I want to build ruby 1.7 on an hpux server which doesn’t have autoconf -
do I have to install autoconf (and muck about in the inevitable morass
of missing dependencies), or is there any easier way?

Whoops - never mind. I see now it matters which 1.7 you get. Stable
snapshot does include ./configure.
