Folks --

Today I noticed that libjava/aclocal.m4 was built with automake 1.9.5.
This is incorrect -- at the moment the entire tree has standardized on
1.9.3, and we shouldn't use different versions unilaterally.  Having
all the subdirectories use a single version took a lot of work and is
an important property to preserve for maintainers' sanity.  For future
reference, the version to use is documented in gcc/doc/install.texi.

Is there any way to specify the exact version of automake required in Makefile.am so that if you are using the wrong version you get an error?

I am guessing that the answer is no, otherwise we would already be doing it.
