That's the annoying side of automake. I don't have a system with
such an old version so I can't check compatability myself. I've
changed AC_CONFIG_HEADER into AM_CONFIG_HEADER, please try again. If
automake still complains about required files not found, remove the
autoreconf call and add --foreign to automake.
