#   automake >= 1.6 (tested with 1.6.3, 1.7.8; older will probably not work)
#   libtool >= 1.5  (tested with 1.5; older will probably not work)
#   autoconf >= 2.50 (tested with 2.50, 2.57; older will not work)

# Set this to a specific version if you want to use a non-standard automake
#AUTOMAKE_VERSION=-1.6
# Set this to a specific version if you want to use a non-standard autoconf
#AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.50
