>Description:
 I'm maintainer of Quagga port. I want to use automake 1.8 in my new port
 because automake 1.7 expires Dec 31. But when I try to use WANT_AUTOMAKE_VER=18
 in Makefile I get "unknown AUTOMAKE version 1.8" error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
 WANT_AUTOMAKE_VER=18 in Makefile then make
>Fix:
 Changing dev_amver=17 to dev_amver=18 in ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk will
 help, but I can't predict all of the consequences.
