On this note, please try to force automake 1.9 if it's possible, as that's |
| 7 |
safer with autoconf 2.60 (a part the lots of warnings about datarootdir, I've |
| 8 |
found a couple of packages that fails to compile when built with autoconf |
| 9 |
2.60 and automake < 1.9). |

This way you also use the latest available without requiring old versions of |
| 12 |
automake. |

Note that autotools eclass right now simply requires latest version of both |
| 15 |
automake and autoconf (as it needs autoconf 2.5 series anyway). |

Mike, will you update autotools eclass as well, to accept WANT_AUTO* before |
| 18 |
inherit line? It should be trivial, but I'd have to check it first. |
