I was able to build 0.7 on my machine without issue. 0.8 won't build
because it requires automake 1.4 (which was released in 2000). My machine
has 1.6 and I see that 1.8 is now (within the last week) available.

I'm not an "automake" expert by ANY stretch of the imagination, nor do I
feel it's "right" to critizise free software, but I certainly would have
hoped that new software would use relatively modern tools.
