I have several versions of automake installed together with some 
wrapper, but for the plugin 1.12.3 was used. I wonder if this is only 
specific to a certain version. If it is, then I think adding another 
instruction step to the build instructions would do. If not, it will 
need a fix. I will see how other plugins handle it, maybe that gives a clue.
