hi,

according to php52-cvs' "INSTALL":

        "autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4+ are required (newer versions of 
autoconf may work, but are not supported)"


afaik, looking @ distrowatch, most distros haven't shipped for ages 
with automake 1.4.  in my experience, even fewer devs use such old 
versions.

fwiw, on my system (OSX), i've:

        autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.60
        automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

question(s):

- -- why has this not been updated to more recent/shipped/released 
versions ?  is there a legit reason?
- -- what needs to happen to get this updated? who leads the charge?

in particular, i'm getting arguments from php-related app developers 
that, e.g., since php "only supports automake 1.4" that they'll only 
support v1.4.

problem is, their code breaks with newer versions of autoconf/automake.

can someone please clarify this position/status and recommend any 
actions?

thanks.

richard
