What a timely question! I was just testing a patch to make the
requirements for the autotools lower to automake 1.9.6 and autoconf 2.59
as on one of my machines. Still testing the patch to make sure it works
everywhere. If you could try it out on your setup that would be
appreciated. After applying you need to ./autogen.sh && ./configure
again of course.

Thanks,

Mark
