Automake is only used when you do the "./bootstrap" step.  As long as the 
version is recent enough, it's fine.  Automake is used to generate the 
Makefile.in files from Makefile.am.  If you get to the point where you can 
build xastir, your version of automake works.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I think the whole automake1.9 thing was because when the instructions were 
initially written, the default automake was old enough that it didn't work.
If yours is working fine, it's probably 1.9 or later (the recent version of
automake is 1.10.x, I think, and you can check what is installed on your system 
with "automake --version").
