I don't know much about these configuration tools - I tend to use
compiler and linker directly when developing something, rather than
trying to talk to make (let alone automake) to get it to do things for
me. I guess it was Adam who created the automake stuff to build with
portaudio V18.
Thomas made some suggestions as to how to test for V18 or V19 at
automake time, but they presuppose more understanding of the autotools
than I have.
Comparing the entries in configure.in

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBAUBIO, aubio >= 0.3.2)
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $LIBAUBIO_CFLAGS"
LIBS="$LIBS $LIBAUBIO_LIBS"

dnl PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PORTAUDIO, portaudio >= 18)
dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PORTAUDIO_CFLAGS"
LIBS="$LIBS -lportaudio"

it looks like we could support V19 with

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PORTAUDIO, portaudio >= 19)
dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PORTAUDIO_CFLAGS"
LIBS="$LIBS $PORTAUDIO_LIBS"

but without more work we would have to require people to install V19 or
put a separate configure.in for people with V18 to use (? or release two
versions).
What do you think?
