I backed out the changes (committed to CVS as 0.5.4-pre2), but I'm
still running into the same problems as I described in my original
post.  It would be nice if I could get this working since it's
essentially 0.5g, which builds fine, but if all else fails, I may have
to resort to updating the versions of automake/autoconf/aclocal it
uses.
