I don't think this top-level patch is a good idea. These are *not*
generated files, they're scripts imported verbatim from the relevant
upstream repositories (not releases). Any change should simply be
importing the latest upstream version. Updating the version of automake
used should solely be able changing files that are generated, not copied,
by automake (e.g. Makefile.in generated from Makefile.am) - plus of course
documenting the new automake version in install.texi.
