It's not complaining about your configure.in, but rather that the
old Automake-1.4 macros are still in your aclocal.m4 file.  With
luck, rerunning (the 1.7 version of) the "aclocal" program should
fix that.

Note to maintainers: here's a clearer version of the last line of
that error message:
  configure.in:10: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
  configure.in:10: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
! configure.in:10: using the `aclocal' command, and then run `automake' again.

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
