[PATCH] build: require newer versions of automake and autoconf

[Jim Meyering]

Inspired by Eric Blake's changes to m4 yesterday, ...

Note that this doesn't change anything for tarballs created by me.
This change makes it harder for others to build using a dangerously
old/buggy version of automake.

Subject: [PATCH] build: require newer versions of automake and autoconf

* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.62 and automake-1.11.1 or newer.
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11.1 or newer,
to ensure people use a version with the fix for CVE-2009-4029.
Note that the coreutils-8.2 tarball included a fixed Makefile.in.
Require autoconf-2.62, per automake.
