Upstart and Libnih trunk sources to TAR - how to?

[Saravanan Shanmugham (sarvi)]

We are trying to take a Upsart trunk sources and libnih trunk sources
and are following instructions to nihify upstart.
 
We had to do an autoreconf - and a ./configure within libnih and then
did a nihify from within upstart. 
 
We then did a tar of the upstart directory including the /nih directory
within upstart and moved into our developmental source tree. 
 
But we are seeing the following error 
make-3.81[2]: Entering directory
`/nobackup/spuddupa/nova/contrib/upstart/obj-ppc'
cd /nobackup/spuddupa/nova/contrib/upstart && /bin/sh
/nobackup/spuddupa/nova/contrib/upstart/missing --run autoheader
aclocal.m4:17: error: this file was generated for autoconf 2.61.
 
We had previously tried the 0.3.9 released tar file in our build and was
successfully able to ./configure and build the 0.3.9 sources in our
environment.
 
What is the process yall use to create/release an upstart tar files(such
as the 0.3.9 tar file) from the bzr source trunk pulls of upstart and
libnih ?
 
Thx,
Sarvi
