Indeed, thanks.  I wonder which version of autoconf you've used,
though.  Since 1999-12-09, automake wouldn't have worked with autoconf
2.13, the latest stable release, because of some a quoting problem
related with backticks in error messages (hi, Pavel :-).  I've just
fixed automake to work with both autoconf 2.13 and CVS autoconf,
created a new snapshot, updated the FAQ and committed the new
Makefiles.
