Is it any more of a dependency hell than Mac OS X? At least in the open source
world, people don't enforce arbitrary dependencies to force you to buy the
latest OS upgrade. ;-)
Automake is really easy to build and you can have multiple versions installed
at the same time.

Point taken. After I've got the next release out, I'll see what I can do to
loosen the automake dependency (the configure script is a bit of a mess,
anyway, and could use some work). All help in tracking bugs is greatly
appreciated.

I'll upload a snapshot from CVS tonight if I get the time.
