My machine with these autogen.sh changes has been off the net for a
week or two, but is supposed to get reconnected tomorrow.

The new automake 1.4 is out; so I'm planning to go ahead and commit
sometime this week if I get a chance. At that point, if you don't have
the latest automake 1.4 release, you won't be able to build.  So, get
the latest automake.

If there are objections to committing the autogen changes, please
raise them really quickly.
