Hi,

 cvs.sh contains:
case $AUTOMAKE_STRING in
...
  automake*1.6.* | automake*1.7* ) : ;;
...

Should be that line
  automake*1.6* | automake*1.7* ) : ;;

?

If 1.6.x is required, than the requirement string should be corrected, 
otherwise users will get funny messages like:
*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.6.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

PS: Acutally  the one who reported this said that he has automake 1.7.1, but 
my assumption is that he had 1.6 on his system what was picked up 
accidentally.
