Ya, I just noticed that when I went to build on my Macbook.  I was just 
starting to peer into the autoconf docs to see what could be done.  Both my 
Mac's (10.8.0 aand 11.4.2 – I have given up trying to figure out how those 
correspond to kittycat names) have automake 1.10; everything else seems to be 
running 1.12.

Since this only bites developers building from git I think I'll just bump the 
minimum required automake version and update my Macs.
