Problems with Automake 1.13 and 1.13.1

[Paolo Bonzini]

As of the original 1.13 release two macros where removed from Automake:
AM_PROG_CC_STDC (replaced by AC_PROG_CC as provided by autoconf) and
AM_CONFIG_HEADER (replaced by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). These were later
reintroduced in 1.13.1, but not with the original behavior---they just
give an error message.    The  maintainer is new and really didn't
listen to the community telling him not to do this.

With my (former) Autotools developer hat on, I believe this is a
horrible mistake and it will be a big hassle for everyone involved in
distro packaging.  Deprecation is okay, but in this case the macros
were not providing any "feature" and as such were largely unnoticed.
Myself, I had never bothered replacing them in my projects.

Automake 1.13.1 is already in rawhide and we need to do something about
it before a F19 mass rebuild starts.

Choices are:

1) introducing automake-1.12: I believe distros should agree on _not_
introducing an automake-1.12 or similar package and get the Automake
maintainer to fix his mess.

2) fixing all packages individually: sounds like a nightmare.
