Fix each-and-every one of them. There are three assumptions made in 
detech-autoconf.pl:

1) The version numbers of auto* never go beyond 1 digit
2) The -suffixes attached to any version are numeric
3) If there is a automake-suffix there is a aclocal-suffix

(2) is not fatal; (1) means it will never pick automake 1.10; (1)+(2) means 
that -wrapper is the preferred suffix; (3) is fatal.

We could actually fix this by adding an aclocal-wrapper script to the 
autotools port. It would .. um .. do something.
