Currently, I'd tend to require autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.6.
If anyone sends in a mail that lower versions are working, I'll change the
requirements to the lower versions. I intend to change the requierments
tonigt (configure.in and autogen.sh)

Yes, please :-) There are quite a few hacks in there for 1.4pX, one of
them is the ugly workaround for automake 1.4pX not being able to live
with gtk.m4 existing in two of its include dirs in autogen.sh

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
