Looks like this is an incompatibility between version 1.3 of automake and 
version 1.5.  With version 1.3, the addition of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) causes
automake to fail to find install-sh et al.  With version 1.5, the lack of 
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) causes automake to fail to create install-sh if it 
already exists in one of the usual directories (including ..).

Suggestions for building a configure.in that will work with both versions 
of automake are welcome...
