Subject: automake-1.9.3 missing aclocal

According to the README file:

This package also includes the "aclocal" program.

It doesn't. Or at least I don't see it anywhere in the distribution file
automake-1.9.3.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org. Working back through older versions
of automake, it looks like this file was last found in automake-1.6.3.tar.gz.
None of the automake.*.tar.gz files since then have included aclocal.

This makes building and installing automake from source rather
difficult. ./configure works fine, but make fails trying to locate aclocal:

cd . &&
perllibdir=/home/dgersic/install/Evolution/t/automake-1.9.3"/lib:./lib"
/home/dgersic/install/t/automake-1.9.3/aclocal
--acdir=m4
/bin/sh: line 1: /home/dgersic/install/t/automake-1.9.3/aclocal: No such file
or directory
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
