Hi, The following patch fixes a problem with CVS autoconf, if a recent enough CVS snapshot of automake was used on it. The problem is that 'automake' now depends on the AC_SUBSTs in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to subst in VERSION and PACKAGE. Since the same 'automake' doesn't understand 'm4_include's, it does not see the actual definition of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (autoconf bypasses the 'aclocal' mechanism). Here's a patch to autoconf to fix this.
