I'm seeing some strange version checking going on as I try to get
autoconf, automake and libtool installed. When I run apt-get install
autoconf, I get the following error when I just built m4 from scratch
successfully. It almost seems like the 'BackTrack' distro is calling the
shots what can and can't be installed via apt-get. (shooting at stars
with that guess)

I'm going to try and build autoconf, automake and libtool from source if
this is the case.
