Yes.

No.  This affects only the ovirt-node repo.
The other repositories/subdirs are independent.

Good catch!  That should be testing for an expected-to-exist
file somewhere in the hierarchy.  My first iteration of autogen.sh
was in the ovirt-identify-node subdir.  Here's the fix (along with
the tar-rule fix one from discussion with Dan) that I'm folding in:

Thanks for the feedback and for testing.
