>Description:
Build failure of pkgsrc/www/libwww - wrong version of automake being called.  
Dependencies correctly specify use of automake-1.4 however the makefile calls 
straight automake, which with current versions in pkgsrc is actually 
automake-1.10

Output of make:

=> Bootstrap dependency digest>=20010302: found digest-20070803

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/libwww
make
>Fix:
Installing the automake package does not fix the problem - it produces further 
errors on make after automake has been called.  Patching the makefile to call 
automake-1.4 as stated in the dependencies produces the correct results.
