the Gentoo automake wrapper scripts are quite nice...
basically you can set WANT_AUTOMAKE to the version you want and it works
everything else out for you... this has no effect unless your system knows to
set WANT_AUTOMAKE.
or it looks to see if it can figure it out from Makefile.in, or the aclocal.m4
i will put the head of the wrapper script from my machine onto the tail of this
email, as they say it more clearly!
