Please fix ORBit dependancies

[Erik Andersen <andersen xmission com>]

Latest ORBit from CVS:
andersen:/home/andersen/gnome/ORBit % rm -rf .deps */.deps ; ./autogen.sh

You must have at minimum autoconf version 2.13 installed
to compile ORBit. Download the appropriate package for
your distribution, or get the source tarball at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/

You must have at minimum automake version 1.3 installed
to compile ORBit. Download the appropriate package for
your distribution, or get the source tarball at
ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/home/tromey/automake-1.3b.tar.gz

andersen:/home/andersen/gnome/ORBit % autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.14
andersen:/home/andersen/gnome/ORBit % automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4

Just sticking in:
    autoconf --version | grep -q "version 2.13"
    automake --version | grep -q "1.3"
etc.  is not the Right Thing.

For autoconf, just update */configure.in (for those needing it) to
include:
    dnl We use some nice new stuff from autoconf 2.13
    AC_PREREQ(2.13)
This will halt creation of a configure script when folks run autogen.sh

For automake, I don't see any built in version checking stuff (patch
waiting to be made I guess), but something similar could easily be
written I suppose. Hard coding one and only one ok version is silly.
It is easy to work around, of course.  Just annoying.
