Well, I decided to take a look at the codebase you're talking about to see if anything could be salvaged. I downloaded the base . It's having the exact same problems you described. Unfortunately, their usage of the configuration template (conf.h.in) isn't limited to only a few #defines (in which case I'd be able to give you a simple list).
So there's nothing we can do without a large investment of time in hunting down the areas that need the configuration file. I suggest giving those people found in the credits (in the NOTES file) an email, as they surely didn't wish to release a codebase in this state.
