While we're at this, we also might consider bumping some other minimum
versions.

I suggest the following versions:
automake 1.9 (we use 1.8 in various places, 1.10/1.11 has some known security
issues, but 1.11.1 is very new).
libtool 2.2.6 (for new macro).
autoconf 2.60 (we use 2.50 mostly, but a small bump doesn't hurt', 2.60 is
around a long time, xorg also used 2.60).

See also http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/ModernAutotools, but those versions
are too new without any reason.

I think the versions above are very reasonable, so if nobody has any
objections, I'll patch the core conponents and apply the dev-tools patch, so
other will slowly move to the new libtool macro too.
