[PD-dev] moocow: svn and compilation issues

hi all, hi bryan

i tried to compile pdstring from moocow from a fresh svn checkout and
encountered some issues. 

- moocow/autoreconf.sh
 when invoked from shell, it gives the error:

../autoreconf.sh: 3: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

i guess, that is because it is using the wrong shebang. it runs fine,
when the shebang calls bash and not sh, like:

#!/bin/bash


- moocow/pdstring/
don't know exactly, if that is intended or not, but there seems to be a
confusion with autogenerated files and files checked out from svn. my
instinct tells me, that files, that are generated by some other scripts
shouldn't be checked into the repository: when i call './autogen.sh', it
will create some files.
now, when i later run an 'svn update', in the meanwhile those files
might have changed in the repository, and svn doesn't want to overwrite
the ones, that were generated by the script.
i am not able to exactly describe what happened, but i just poked around
a bit and then it worked. i cannot exactly recall all the commands i
tried. anyway, i had to manually 'rm makefile* config*' followed by 'svn
update' in order to be able to compile pdstring without errors.
