 I've not looked into it further, and not sure if it's only for my
 local environment or generally the case for newer versions of
 automake.  But due to a recent security fix to automake
 (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3386)
 I guess the use of newer versions of automake will be more common.
 So it's better to investigate it.
