The Git version of OpenSlide introduces some new functions that are 
already being used by the Git version of OpenSlide Python.  You will 
need to install OpenSlide from Git.

configure scripts are typically not checked into source repositories. 
Projects will often provide an autogen.sh or bootstrap.sh script to 
generate configure and related files.  If neither is present, as with 
OpenSlide, you can generate configure by running "autoreconf -i".  You 
will need Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool installed.
