I'm having trouble invoking the wrapper scripts for aclocal.

Here's my session log...

---------------------------------------

automake-stable         1.4p6-2              OK

---------------

Is this because the automake wrapper version is at 1.7.9 and devel is at 
1.9.2?

Anyway here's the patch I applied to fix it.
