No, because autoreconf (at least the version that comes with GNU
Autoconf 2.59 on my system) also doesn't automatically pick up the right
version :{

I added the suggestion of Michael to also test for the 1.8 versions of
these tools to make the script a little bit more robust. But it still
feel very fragile to me. How do other projects handle this if they don't
require people to just issue these commands by hand (so they can select
the right versions themselves)?

        * autogen.sh: Check for explicit versions of the autotools installed
        in /usr/bin.

Cheers,

Mark
