Is it possible to add AM_SILENT_RULES only when automake version is >= 
1.11, that is is there a good way to retrieve the version of automake in 
configure.ac ? Something like:

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.6 dist-bzip2)
if test $AUTOMAKE_CURRENT_VERSION -ge 1.1 ; then
   AM_SILENT_RULES
fi

I think that i can get it by using sed on what is returned by 'automake 
-version', but i would prefer an "autotools" way

thank you
