I found some inspiration for a more accurate version check at the curl
project (http://curl.haxx.se/). Applied is a patch that integrates these
ideas into bootstrap. I removed the check for different versions of
automake (-1.10, -1.9, etc.).  Different versions of the auto* tools can
be set using the environment variables AUTOMAKE, ACLOCAL, AUTOHEADER,
and AUTOCONF.

HTH, Ron.
