For a minute I was afraid I'd written it; I remember doing weird things in 
admin/ long ago to get FBSD up to speed. But not this stuff.

Just three more months, then we can get some serious cmake-hair-pulling going.

Anyway, here's my just-installed setup of all those auto-thingies on 6-stable:

tosti386$pkg_info  | grep auto
autoconf-wrapper-20070404 Wrapper script for GNU autoconf
automake-wrapper-20070404 Wrapper script for GNU automake
gnu-autoconf-2.61   Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms
gnu-automake-1.10   GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (GNU 
unmodified)
tosti386$automake
automake: not installed
tosti386$autoconf
autoconf: not installed
tosti386$aclocal
aclocal: not installed

So there's one problem to start with, if we ever wanted gnu-auto* as a 
dependency for kdevelop. The next problem occurs because the script 
detects -wrapper as a valid suffix for the auto* (like -1.10 or 2.53 would 
be) and sorts that to the end; that's then the "best" suffix and it goes on 
to look for aclocal-wrapper, which we don't have.

Patch attached. Committed in KDE SVN, too.
