It should work out of the box using the git repo as autogen.sh checks 
out the submodules. If you're using a release tarball then usually there 
is no need to run autogen.sh at all (but it must work still), just run 
configure unless you're applying patches which effect auto* 
(Makefile.am, configure.ac, ...)

As far as I see the only way autogen.sh could break is when one copies 
the git repo (without updating the submodules first) and runs autogen.sh 
on a system where git isn't present.
