It looks like there's some skew in the versions of the autotools being
used in the RDA tree.  Would anyone mind if I cleaned that up?

The top level configure (which I'm not suggesting we mess with) is
generated by autoconf 2.13.  Within rda, we seem to be consistently
using automake 1.6.3, but a mix of autoconf 2.53 and 2.57.  I'd like
to use automake 1.9.3 and autoconf 2.59 (the latest versions) for
everything.

The comments in rda/unix/config.in says it's maintained by hand, but
the comments and ChangeLog don't explain why.  If folks can give me
more details about the problem, I'd be willing to try to make that
auto-generated again.

I neglected to mention that rda/win32 uses a mix of automake 1.4and
1.4-p5, and autoconf 2.13.  I'd be happy to upgrade and check that,
too.

I don't remember the details, if in fact I ever knew them.  Anyway, I'm
all for having this file automatically generated again, if possible.
