I removed autconf2.13 from my system; there wasn't anything that depended on it. It actually had a wrapper that tried to guess whether to use 2.13 or 2.5, so conceivably things might have worked without it. I also removed the old automake and the packages that depended on it (I guess I won't be doing any GNOME development--is there a way to do both?). KDE seems to be building OK after these changes.
