Description:
When running autogen.sh on a machine with both automake-1.9 and automake-1.10 on it, the build defaults to using the automake-1.9 executable if it exists. 

This is wrong, since mysql-proxy now needs 1.10 to build (through the use of abs_top_builddir). 

How to repeat:
Download mysql-proxy from bzr and then run autogen.sh on a machine with automake-1.9 installed. 

Suggested fix:
The issue is in autogen.sh, which explicitly looks for automake-19 and automake-1.9 in preference to automake. 

We should change: 

if test x$AUTOMAKE = x; then
  if test \! "x`which automake-1.9 2> /dev/null | grep -v '^no'`" = x; then
    AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9
  elif test \! "x`which automake19 2> /dev/null | grep -v '^no'`" = x; then
    AUTOMAKE=automake19
  elif test \! "x`which automake 2> /dev/null | grep -v '^no'`" = x; then
    AUTOMAKE=automake
  else 
    echo "automake 1.9.x wasn't found, exiting"; exit 0
  fi
fi

And the corresponding issue under aclocal, to use the 1.10 version
