You don't need to copy the Makefile (Makefile is generated from Makefile.in
when you run configure). In order for configure to know it has to create
the file it must to to do so. configure itself is not created by hand but
created by autoconf from the configure.ac file.
So what you have to to is add the new Makefile to configure.ac - search for
AC_CONFIG_FILES([
Then you need to run autoconf (no arguments required but we require a version
>=2.53).  After that you need to rerun ./configure <options> (or
./config-status --recheck && ./config.status).

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
