Yep.  I relied on some of the changes in the development version of Automake
and added a few patches myself.  I posted RPMs and source at:


http://alumni.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/automake-1.4a-0_CVSHome_org_7.noarch.rpm


http://alumni.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/automake-1.4a-0_CVSHome_org_7.src.rpm

http://alumni.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/automake-1.4a-0_CVSHome_org_7.tar.gz

The source RPMs keep my patches separate from the dev version of Automake.

Mostly.  info files are being generated as part of a software build, but
only when out of date.  Not sure if this is important.
