autoconf 1.7.9

om,

After the news that autoconf 1.8 was bad, I reverted to 1.7.9....

According to the manual, explicitly calling "aclocal" followed by 
"autoconf" is depreciated so I replaced it with "autoreconf".

The output I get is:

bash-2.05$ make
./mkacinc > acplugins.m4
        + ../vm-display-Quartz/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm-display-X11/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm-display-fbdev/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm-sound-MacOSX/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm-sound-NAS/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm-sound-OSS/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm-sound-Sun/acinclude.m4
        + ../vm/acinclude.m4
        + ../plugins/B3DAcceleratorPlugin/acinclude.m4
        + ../plugins/Mpeg3Plugin/acinclude.m4
        + ../plugins/ObjectiveCPlugin/acinclude.m4
        + ../plugins/PseudoTTYPlugin/acinclude.m4
        + ../plugins/SqueakFFIPrims/acinclude.m4
        + ../plugins/XDisplayControlPlugin/acinclude.m4
autoreconf
configure.ac:132: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_NM
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:145: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.ac:146: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [configure] Error 1
bash-2.05$
///////////////////////////////////////

The output from the unmodified makefile is equivalent....

Commenting out the lines mentioned above and running make with the 
orrigional command sequence creates a configure which runs but fails 
during the build/make process beacuse it can't find the libtool....

My current software is as follows:
