Trying to compile gnome-base/gnome-panel-3.6.2-r1 with automake-1.13.1 installed results in the following error (in temp/aclocal.out).  However, it compiled fine with automake-1.13.4, so I'm not sure this is a problem any more.

AM_CONFIG_HEADER was restored to 1.13.x series but it's still obsolete and not present in automake-2.x so this should be fixed regardless
