installed

It seems that the experimental spkg does not build correctly on systems
without autotools installed.
Indeed it seems that recent version of autoconf want a version of automake
already installed and recent version of automake want a recent version of
autoconf installed.
autoconf builds seem to fail from 2.62 onward with
{{{
No version of automake has been installed yet
}}}
As a consequence, automake fails from 1.11 onward:
{{{
configure: error: Autoconf 2.61a-341 or better is required.
}}}
(the needed versions increases with later versions of automake)
Moreover the above error are not detected.
As cygwin is quite slow for these kind of stuff, the spkg-install script
did not finish yet, but I assume no second pass is performed.
One might expect that someone wanting this spkg for development would have
a system wide install, but I did not on the windows install I sometimes
use for Sage on Cygwin coding.
And fixing this does not seem horribly complicated.
