This works right now, but it's very easy for this to cause problems in the
future, because it means xz and xz's dependencies can't use automake; if they
did, it would be a circular dependency and new installs would fail with a
confusing lack of error message.

libtool doesn't depend on automake, so automake isn't even active on the
buildbot when libtool builds, so there's no way that the libtool build could be
affected by the automake upgrade there. Maybe the comment in the automake
portfile that says to do this is outdated. The comment was unfortunately added
without reference to a ticket or other further information.

Jeremy, do you remember any more details?
