I fund the issue. I was missing the package "python-pkgconfig". Once
that was installed, the autogen.sh script ran fine. Turned out someone
else had the same problem and published a solution. That got me through
the autogen script and then I had to install gperf to get the configure
script to complete.

I'll write up some rough BUILD instructions, including the tools I had
to add to get eudev to compile and share them. Maybe it'll make the
process just a little smoother for other newcomers.
