2.49?  The page at

	http://sources.redhat.com/autoconf/

says the current version is 2.13 - did they release 37 different
versions of autoconf while I wasn't watching?

Similarly, the page at

	http://sources.redhat.com/automake/

says the current version of automake is 1.4.

Is that a documented requirement - documented back to automake 1.4, so
that we shouldn't have been using uppercase versions - or is that just a
bug in what I presume is a pre-release version?

Perhaps they're not running stuff through M4 any more; in any case, I'd
count that as a bug as well, given that it worked in previous releases.
