Alas, I now have automake 1.9.4 on my system and when I do:

> ./cf/bootstrap.sh

the following error messages roll over the screen:

Needless to say that ./configure fails:

./configure: line 1357: syntax error near unexpected token `cf'
./configure: line 1357: `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(cf)'


So, what should I do?
