Thanks for your reply. I skipped the autoreconf step, and just used the
configure script in the tarball, and it works just fine now. I've
managed to compile and install this development version of BIND 10. It
runs, and I can send it queries and get responses.

Compiling all this on MacOS X is quite a long process, because one needs
to install Python 3.1, and then Boost. I think people may appreciate a
MacPort, to make it easier to install BIND 10. I'll create a Portfile
when I have some time, and submit it to MacPorts.
