autoconf v2.13
automake v1.4

I've upgraded to autoconf v2.50 and updated flac from cvs. The error is
being generated by aclocal anyway and that's part of automake v1.4.

Well I just installed xmms v1.2.4 and didn't get that file placed there. I
copied it there manually and aclocal is now happy.

configure: error: libtool configure failed

I have libtool v1.3.4 installed as it's a dependancy of much of the
FreeBSD ports tree. From the libtool v1.3.4 port Makefile:

---
# This port has not been upgraded to 1.4 because it is used by about 30% of
# the ports collection, and more testing is needed.  If someone can supply a
# working patch then it will be upgraded.
---

Okay. You could say the FreeBSD ports maintainers should get their
finger(s) out and upgrade. So I upgraded to libtool v1.4 to see if the old
version was the problem. Repeated the procedure and now ./configure seems
to work correctly. BTW I also tried libtool v1.3.5 and that gave the same
error during the configure.
  On to the make:

$ make
Making all in src
cd: can't cd to src
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/src/lame/flac.

Looks like GNU make is still required:

Hmmm. I've no idea how to fix this.
