Testing it on FreeBSD 3.4, with automake 1.4, failed to even
successfully run autogen.sh:

	% ./autogen.sh 
	Checking for python.
	glibtool: not found
	libtoolize --copy --force
	pkg-config: not found
	pkg-config: not found
	processing .

	autoheader
	configure.in:733: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow

	automake --add-missing --gnu
	autoconf
	configure.in:733: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow
	cross compiling
	processing epan
	aclocal -I ../aclocal-missing
	autoheader
	automake --add-missing --gnu
	Makefile.am:34: library used but `LIBTOOL' not defined in
	    `configure.in'

I don't know whether it's possible to make epan/Makefile.am and
epan/configure.in work with that older version of automake, or if we
have to require a newer version of automake, which might mean requiring
a newer version of autoconf.  (For what it's worth, the current CVS
version of tcpdump requires autoconf 2.50 or later in order to generate
its "configure" from its "configure.in".)
