 ./autoregen.sh after that every time, so for users, it's pretty
 straightforward.  Nobody has mentioned this as being a problem (except
 one of the build script maintainers, forgot who).
 
 I don't mind fixing this, as long as it Still Works for the people who
 are used to how it works now ;) Suggestions are welcome.

+It's a problem for me at least, as I don't have "automake" pointing at
+1.6, but I do have "automake-1.6"
+
+One easy solution is the way say gconf does it - it tries the
+hardcoded version first, then falls back to plain "automake"
+
+You don't actually know your stuff works with all automake >= 1.5 btw;
+you know it works with 1.5 and 1.6, but if automake is renamed again,
+that will be because it's again incompatible...
