There is a pkg I'm trying to build that was packaged with Automake
1.7.2 :

cd .. &&  /bin/sh /opt/pkgsrc/devel/qdp++/work.kingu/qdp++/config/missing
  --run automake-1.7 --gnu  examples/Makefile
configure.ac:6: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.7.5,
configure.ac:6: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:6: comes from Automake 1.7.2.  You should recreate
configure.ac:6: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /opt/pkgsrc/devel/qdp++/work.kingu/qdp++/examples

Followed instructions and it doesn't appear to build the makefiles
correctly with 1.7.5 so I followed directions in Packages.txt :
and for packages that need automake and autoconf:

        AUTOMAKE_REQD=  1.7.1   # if default version is not good enough
        ...

        pre-configure:
                cd ${WRKSRC};                                           \
                ${ACLOCAL};                                             \
                ${AUTOHEADER};                                          \
                ${AUTOMAKE} -a --foreign -i;                            \
                ${AUTOCONF}

        ...
        .include "../mk/automake.mk"

resulting in:
