Latest for DJGPP ports: autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.6, libtool 1.5.

automake works out-of-the-box. Later automake 1.7.x should work with 
DJGPP, but I think 1.7.8 is the last one I tested.

autoconf has a few small patches. These made it into CVS after 2.57, but 
I have no tested autoconf CVS with DJGPP for 9 months and I have no 
plans to.

libtool has a few patches that made it into libtool CVS after 1.5. I 
haven't tested libtool with DJGPP since 1.5 was released.

If config.status.lineno was introduced post-autoconf 2.57, then it may 
not work with DJGPP.

I did not have time to test autoconf, automake, libtool much on 
DOS/Windows systems with only short filename support, so I have no idea, 
if they work on those systems.
