Compiles OK on AIX4.3.3 w/gcc 2.95.3, libol-0.3.5.

I'm not sure if the following information is all that useful to you, but
I suppose it tests the configuration system a little bit.

Rebuilding configure script with automake-1.6.1 and autoconf-2.5.3:

(These aren't totally current, but they're what I have on the system..)

*** Running automake gives the following error first (reflecting that older
*** version was used.)

configure.in:5: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.in:5: with aclocal and run automake again.

*** Corrected problem by running aclocal.  Next, ran automake -ac,
*** then autoconf.  autoconf produced following warning:

configure.in:162: error: do not use LIBOBJS directly, use AC_LIBOBJ (see section `AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS'

*** Configure script works, and configured product ompiles OK

So it seems that the Makefile.am and configure.in update alright to the newer
autoconf and automake versions, save for the warning.
