On machines without a sufficiently new 'perl', configure fails:

  checking for perl... no
  configure: error: perl not found

  checking for perl... /bin/perl
  Perl 5.006 required--this is only version 5.00503, stopped at -e line 1.
  configure: error: perl 5.6 or better is required; perl 5.8.2 or better
  is recommended.  If you have several perl versions
  installed, select the one Automake should use using
    ./configure PERL=/path/to/perl

  checking for perl... /usr/sbin/perl
  Perl 5.006 required--this is only version 5.00405, stopped at -e line 1.
  configure: error: perl 5.6 or better is required; perl 5.8.2 or better
  is recommended.  If you have several perl versions
  installed, select the one Automake should use using
    ./configure PERL=/path/to/perl

On machines without a sufficiently new 'autoconf', configure fails:

  checking whether autoconf is installed... no
  configure: error: Autoconf 2.62 or better is required.
      Please make sure it is installed and in your PATH.

On Linux/x86_64:

  All 823 tests behaved as expected (11 expected failures)

On MacOS X 10.5:

  All 812 tests behaved as expected (11 expected failures)

On NetBSD 5.1:

  All 760 tests behaved as expected (10 expected failures)

On Linux/IA-64:

  FAIL: acloca20.test
  FAIL: aclocal-path-install-serial.test
  FAIL: autodist-aclocal-m4.test
  FAIL: help-python.test
  FAIL: missing5.test
  FAIL: obsolete.test
  FAIL: tagsub.test
  7 of 824 tests failed

  Find attached the test suite log file. Apparently some of the failures are
  due to the autoconf version:

  $ autoconf --version
  Autoconf version 2.13
  ---
  Autoconf 2.13 chosen by Debian wrapper script.
  For information and tuning advice see autoconf(1).

On FreeBSD 6.4:

  FAIL: man4.test
  FAIL: yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test
  XPASS: remake-m4-pr10111.test
  3 of 766 tests did not behave as expected (1 unexpected pass)

  Find attached the test suite log file. Probably the cause is that
  on this machine, /usr/bin/make is being used, which is BSD make, not
  GNU make.
