Details:

reconfiguring libtextstyle with recent automake gives:

autoreconf: configure.ac: adding subdirectory libtextstyle to autoreconf
autoreconf: Entering directory `libtextstyle'
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4 -I gnulib-m4
configure.ac:25: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version
arguments
gl_AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
/usr/share/aclocal-1.16/init.m4:29: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
configure.ac:25: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1


This appears to be an incompatibility iwth the gl_AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro that
is used here. this can be easily fixed by simply using AC_INIT as it was
designed to. I'll add a patch.
