 autogen.sh produces the Makefile.in's, which are necessary for the configure
 script itself, and some more files for make. To run autogen.sh you'll need
-GNU autoconf and GNU automake (use recent versions! autoconf 2.53 and
-automake 1.6.1 are known to work).
+GNU autoconf and GNU automake: at least autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.10 are

+So automake 1.11.x and autoconf 2.67+ is recommended.
