How about:

if [ ! -f libgetopt++/configure ]; then
    cd libgetopt++
    ./bootstrap.sh
fi


Also, how about:

if [ ! -f cygpackage.cc ]; then
    echo "You must run this script from the directory containing it"
    exit 1
fi

And similarly for libgetopt++/bootstrap.sh :

if [ ! -f src/GetOption.cc ]; then
    echo "You must run this script from the directory containing it"
    exit 1
fi

At the moment, the error messages are less than clear, if you make this
mistake.
