++dnl Initialize automake.  automake < 1.12 didn't have serial-tests and
++dnl gives an error if it sees this, but for automake >= 1.13
++dnl serial-tests is required so we have to include it.  Solution is to
++dnl test for the version of automake (by running an external command)
++dnl and provide it if necessary.  Note we have to do this entirely using
++dnl m4 macros since automake queries this macro by running
++dnl 'autoconf --trace ...'.
