Here you go:

muscat% dpkg -l automake | grep ii
ii  automake       1.4-p4-1.1     A tool for generating GNU
Standards-complian
muscat% dpkg -l autoconf | grep ii
ii  autoconf       2.53-3         automatic configure script builder
muscat% dpkg -l libtool | grep ii
ii  libtool        1.4.2-4        Generic library support script
muscat% dpkg -l gettext | grep ii
ii  gettext        0.10.40-6      GNU Internationalization utilities
muscat% dpkg -l intltool | grep ii
ii  intltool       0.18-1         utility scripts and assorted auto magic for 

For the ./configure, get the one from the snapshot tarballs. Just check the
snapshot announcements for a change in the configure.in or Makefile.am's,
and you should be OK using it in a CVS tree (the real solution is of course,
reading the NEWS file for required version of the autotools. And of course
warning us if we need to update it).

My script autogen's it every morning, 9:30. And I build it rather frequently
from CVS. I'm not alone...
