In fact, most of autogen.sh can be killed. Here's the way to enforce
minimum automake version:

http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#API-versioning

And for libtool:

I'd also suggest just running autoreconf instead autoconf,
autoheader... manually. It's much smarter than we are about how to use
the autotools.
