I _think_ it's a bug, but I'm not sure. I was confused by the apparent
lack of automake when I made the 0.8 build, I typed 'automake' on the
command line to check it was there, and configure worked fine.

Certainly 0.7 didn't complain, nor any of the pre0.8 builds.

Also, if you find a bug, any bug, it's not a criticism, it's a bug
report, unless you want to fix it, then it's a patch :)

Chris.
