Bug#835910: warzone2100: FTBFS when newer automake is installed

[Russell Coker]

Package: warzone2100
Version: 3.1.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

The warzone2100 build system insists on automake and aclocal version 1.11.  If
you have 1.15 installed it won't build.

The following patch makes it build when you have a version of automake newer
than 1.11 installed and the links automake and aclocal pointing to the newer
versions (as is the default when multiple versions are installed).

While it is possible to purge newer versions of automake from your system
before starting a build this shouldn't be required and doesn't work well if
your system is used for building packages that depend on newer versions of
automake.

I think this should be included in Unstable to make things easier for everyone
who wants to work on this package.  The same patch is needed for version 3.2.1.
