unable to build kdelibs

[Paul Pogonyshev]

Hi.

I'm using KDE built from CVS downloads and refresh it from time to
time.  Recently, i decided to rebuild it again, but have been unable
to do it for three days already and decided to write a mail here.

It fails on

	$ make -f Makefile.cvs

Since recently, KDE can no longer be built with autom4te-2.53 (and
maybe even more recent versions) and probably other auto* tools.
Worse than that, it doesn't detect newer versions.  The simple
patch below fixes that.  Note that followed the "don't delete
anything" rule, but actually detection of autom4te-2.53 and older
should be removed since they no longer work.

Unfortunately, i still can't build it.  This time error looks like
this:

	$ make -f Makefile.cvs
	...
	*** Creating Makefile templates
	*** Postprocessing Makefile templates
	Split loop at admin/am_edit line 843.
	make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
	make: *** [all] Error 2

I don't understand the error message and don't know what to do.  Can
anybody help?  (autoconf tools 2.57, automake/aclocal 1.7)
