The mininum build requirement was updated to autoconf 2.6.2 about 2.5
weeks ago.  The file configure.ac has checks for all three programs and
their versions.  I just did a simple test and bumped the AC_PREREQ
number above my currently installed version of autoconf and it correctly
flags an error and aborts the autogen process.  This was on a Linux
system rather than a Mac.
