Michael proposes to change everything to automake-1.11.1.
But the helper files "missing" and friends were updated to automake-1.14.1

* install-sh: Ditto.
* missing: Ditto.
* mkinstalldirs: Ditto.
* ylwrap: Ditto.
Actually I thought that was in preparation to move everything to automake 1.14.1
If I see that right, calling automake without parameters does not touch these
helper files, but "automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing" would replace
them with the copy from the automake installation additionally to just
rewriting the
Makefile.in.
I think we should have all automake files from the same version, either 1.11.1
or 1.14.1.
What do you think?
Regards,
Bernd.
