I am testing that you have the required versions of autoconf,
automake, glib-gettextize and intltoolize. This test is not foolproof and
if anything goes wrong, there may be guidance in the file HACKING.txt

checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... yes (version 2.60)
checking for automake >= 1.7 ... yes (version 1.9.6)

  You must have automake less than 1.9.0 or newer than 1.9.6
  Get ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/automake-1.8.5.tar.gz
  (or a newer version of 1.8 if it is available)
checking for glib-gettextize >= 2.0.0 ... yes (version 2.12.4)
checking for intltool >= 0.17 ... yes (version 0.35.2)

Please install/upgrade the missing tools and call me again.
