And Ben's really gone above-and-beyond in making that easy.  The last
time I ran his bootstrap on a system where I'd forgotten to update
automake from an older version, the script detected that and then
built and used our contrib/autotools stuff instead.

I'm not sure how robust that is yet; if someone's found a system where
it doesn't work, I'd consider that a bug for us to fix.

One thing that didn't work but that might be too hard to fix: you
actually have to run bootstrap for it to work; e.g. if you merely do a
"make" after changing a .am file and automake gets automatically
re-run that way then (at least on Cygwin) it won't build the latest
automake for you first.
