automake1.7 1.7.9-6 (ia64 binary) in ubuntu hoary

A tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
 Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from
 files called `Makefile.am'.
 .
 The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance
 from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back
 of the Automake maintainer).
 .
 The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions
 (with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated
 `Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
 .
 Automake 1.7 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake
 1.4 and 1.5 did, so has been renamed so that the previous version can
 continue to be made available.
