According to http://sourceware.org/ml/automake/2003-12/msg00023.html the
"underquoted definition" messages have been around since automake 1.7h,
the latest beta before 1.8.

Right now, we're requiring automake >= 1.7 to build muine cvs. *If* this
change would bump the requirement, it would bump it to automake >= 1.8.

What we need to do is try to build muine cvs on a system with automake
1.7. If it builds, no bumping is needed.

Can anyone with access to a automake 1.7 install check this out?
