Yes it's right, it isn't used outside of this function. But it is used within
the function itself to check the full version (X.Y.Z).

I don't see us using AUTOMAKE_MINOR for anything really :-)
But that said, even if it wasn't for OpenBSD, I still think the patch is
correct since this variable really should not get out of the function; it is
only used there.
