so if you didn't use a source tarball, you must start as follows:
bash ./autogen.sh
* To add a new command:
1) Add a new c_ function and table entry in server/server.c
2) Document the new command in doc/disorder_protocol.5.in
- 3) Add a new function to lib/client.c

4) Add a new function to lib/eclient.c
5) Add a new function to python/disorder.py.in
6) Add a new command to clients/disorder.c and update doc/disorder.1.in
7) Add a new test somewhere in tests/*.py
