I have a self hosting monotone on my box!

Thank you very much for help and advices.

Indeed, I discovered that more versions of automake are installed in
my system (Gentoo) by default.  When needed, you have to specify the
exact version, e.g.,

  WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7 autoreconf --install

I have no idea if this is gentoo specific.

Ciao,
