Some snapshot I took from the cvs automake a month or so ago.  I'll
update my setup and see if it helps.

OK - thanks.
Well, it'll probably be due to my using a slightly old snapshot.

BTW, what is the correct way (if there is any) to do this in stock
1.4? It's just that this is supposed to work in a distributed package,
so relying on CVS automake is probably not a good idea.
