Automake is not used at all, though aclocal is.  You should use the 
regen.sh script, which will run the tools with the correct arguments and in 
the correct order.

configure and aclocal.m4 always have a comment at the top indicating what 
tool generated them, as do Makefile.in's generated by automake.

At present, the official OpenAFS source distributions are prepared using 
autoconf-2.13 and aclocal from automake-1.4.  However, there is some 
attempt made to maintain compatibility with newer versions.  If you 
encounter a problem which is directly attributable to using a newer version 
of one of these tools (particularly, if you are able to reproduce the 
problem with the newer tools, but not with the versions I mentioned), you 
should file a bug.
