When i sync'd janosvm with the current kaffe I updated to the latest auto* 
tools, it wasn't too hard to do.  My main complaint so far is that 
configure doesn't get run automatically after you run autogen.sh and 
the Makefiles don't regenerate themselves.  Other than that it was a 
pretty easy transition.
