On this note, please try to force automake 1.9 if it's possible, as that's 
safer with autoconf 2.60 (a part the lots of warnings about datarootdir, I've 
found a couple of packages that fails to compile when built with autoconf 
2.60 and automake < 1.9).

This way you also use the latest available without requiring old versions of 
automake.

Note that autotools eclass right now simply requires latest version of both 
automake and autoconf (as it needs autoconf 2.5 series anyway).

Mike, will you update autotools eclass as well, to accept WANT_AUTO* before 
inherit line? It should be trivial, but I'd have to check it first.
