Well, it should be done by Aldor folks. But to build Aldor
interface one needs to get (that is build) Aldor first and at
least for wiki the simplest way was to add instructions to
page above.

AFAIK in maintainer mode autotools do not tolerate any version
differences: maintainers are supposed to use exactly the same
autotools version. I mean that upgrade/downgrade may require
modifying code which should be trivial for person familiar
with build system, that is maintainer. But in practice IIUC projects
with complicated build systems tend to stay with single version
and then there is real work to upgrade. I affraid that having
users to deal with maintainer mode is too problematic.
