You'll hit a minor merge conflict here once you apply my suggested fix
to 1/3.

Thinking out loud, do we want to mention the 'Automake package', since
both 'automake' and 'aclocal' executables come from the same package?
That is, maybe:

Older versions of the Automake package (< 1.8) are no longer supported
by autoreconf.

Or is that too subtle for why we aren't listing aclocal?  Your choice.

ACK.
