Well, I can't configure the newest automake.  Here's what happened:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden automake-1.7.6 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for tex... tex
configure: error: Autoconf 2.54 or better is required.
  Is it installed?  Is it in your PATH?  (try running `autoconf
--version')
  Is it working?  See also config.log for error messages before this
one.
address@hidden automake-1.7.6 $ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

IOW - ./configure says I need autoconf v. 2.54 or greater, but "autoconf
--version" sez I already have v. 2.57.  What gives?
