Ok, I've found an automake compiled with mingw, but the ./autogen.sh has 
the following output (Any Idea about greater or lower version numbers? 
Seems like the automake's too new...):

$ ./autogen.sh
Your version of automake is:

automake (GNU automake) 1.7.1

But automake >= 1.5b is required, you can find it at:

Source for automake 1.5b
- ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/

Source for automake 1.6
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/

Debian Pakages for automake 1.5b
- http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/automake-deb/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, any idea about that?
