That's really what I meant, I'm afraid.

  Automake <= 1.5: 
      output 'generated automatically by automake' but don't grep for it

  Automake 1.6 and 1.6.1: 
      output 'generated by automake' and grep for it in the *first* line

  CVS Automake (future versions):
      output 'generated by automake' and grep for it in the whole file  

(Don't ask me why the wording changed, I don't know.)

hence I suggest something like  /^(.*generated .*by automake.*\n)/
