This script says:

# Based on the am-wrapper.pl script provided by MandrakeSoft
# Rewritten in bash by Gregorio Guidi

but it does seem to run "$0-$version" in effect:

vers="1.10 1.9 1.8 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4"

for v in ${vers} ; do
        eval binary_${v/./_}="${0}-${v}"
done

$whence aclocal-1.10
/usr/bin/aclocal-1.10

$ls -o /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10
-rwxr-x---+ 1 chicares 31139 Feb 19  2008 /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10

$cd /lmi/src/lmi

$export wx=/opt/lmi/wx-scratch/wxWidgets-2.8.7
$export ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS="-I $wx"
$ls -d $wx
/opt/lmi/wx-scratch/wxWidgets-2.8.7

$aclocal-1.10 -I $wx
$echo $?
0

I'll try that.
