This works fine, thanks. Long live the beauty of configure :-)

Well, nearly long live it :-)

When I run configure, it checks for aclocal, autoconf, automake and
autoheader:

    checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing
    checking for working autoconf... found
    checking for working automake-1.4... missing
    checking for working autoheader... found

aclocal-1.4. is indeed missing, but ${ACLOCAL} does exist and same
with ${AUTOMAKE}:

    [/usr/ports/sysutils/lire-devel] edwin at k7>make -V ACLOCAL
    aclocal14
    [/usr/ports/sysutils/lire-devel] edwin at k7>make -V AUTOMAKE
    automake14

I don't understand why configure doesn't look for the environment
variables, maybe it's an 2.1.3 thing (I'm using 1.4 to make my own
configure scripts).

I can make the graphs now, I can make the PDFs now. I'm happy.
