This is part of the AC_PATH_XTRA autoconf macro.  I don't understand
why it's breaking on you.  Can you get more details, maybe from
config.log?

Even people who don't have up-to-date autoconf and automake should now 
be able to build, after `cvs update -d' and a new run of configure.
I've inserted a temporary hack for version checking until we can get
this into automake itself.  Sorry about all the mess.
