This test fails because it only finds an ancient Automake-1.4 installed
on the system; please consider installing the current version, which is
1.9.6.
In order to minimize feedback for Autoconf (I'm not sure if that's a
good thing in this case! Warning against Automake-1.4 considered
beneficial), we could install something along the lines of the
(completely untested) patch below. Thoughts?
Cheers,
Ralf
