  Thanks for making this change, I can purge my mind of the ugly hoops
I had to jump through a couple of weeks ago now :)

  It works fine on my gentoo system, the autoreconf wrapper honours the
AUTOMAKE variable.  Calling autoreconf without a version suffix just
uses the latest installed autoconf version, for me that is currently
2.63.

  That's my arch's currently stable version on gentoo, so thanks.
