php52-cvs' "INSTALL" states:
"autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4+ are required (newer versions of
autoconf may work, but are not supported)"
@ distrowatch, distros haven't shipped for ages with automake 1.4.
automake 1.4 was released: 14-Jan-1999current/stable automake (v1.9.6) was released: 10-Jul-2005 (1) why has this not been updated to more recent/shipped/released versions ? is there a legit reason? (2) what needs to happen to get this updated? who leads the charge?
