I don't recommend 1.8b; they should be running a released version of
automake. Preferably 1.9.1; or 1.8.5 if they're more conservative.
However, this shouldn't matter here: I ran "autoconf" without running
"automake", and autoconf doesn't depend on automake.

1.5.8 would be better, but (like automake) it shouldn't matter for
this test case.

That wouldn't work at all.

Yes.
