I've been working on this as time permits.  One of the issues that I've run 
into is having this work on eairlier versions of autotools, particulary 
autoconf.  The problem lies in the fact that autoconf hasn't kept development 
pace with automake and automake had to implement functionality that should 
have been done in the former.  With these newer releases, however, there are 
a number of conflicts with older releases.  Short of requiring a particular 
release, what steps have you taken to provide this?  I really like working 
with the new versions as they have come a long way in improving the config 
process.
