configure doesn't check automake version

Hi,

While I do ./configure for the latest version of GnuNet there's nothing 
saying I need aclocal or automake or perl, but when I do 'make' I get 
the following errors:

[gnunet@magicbrain GNUnet]$ make
cd . && /bin/sh /home/gnunet/GNUnet/missing --run aclocal-1.8 -I m4
/home/gnunet/GNUnet/missing: line 52: aclocal-1.8: command not found
WARNING: `aclocal-1.8' is missing on your system.  You should only need 
it if
         you modified `acinclude.m4' or `configure.ac'.  You might want
         to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages.  Grab them from
         any GNU archive site.
 cd . && /bin/sh /home/gnunet/GNUnet/missing --run automake-1.8 --gnu
/home/gnunet/GNUnet/missing: line 52: automake-1.8: command not found
WARNING: `automake-1.8' is missing on your system.  You should only need

cd . && /bin/sh /home/gnunet/GNUnet/missing --run autoconf
autoconf: configure.in: No such file or directory
make: *** [configure] Error 1

I didn't change anything on any configuration files, Makefile.am , 
acinclude.m4 or configure.ac.

The problem is that

[root@magicbrain GNUnet]# automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6

and GNUnet requires  automake (>= 1.7.6) 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
so... shouldn't configure check if the automake installed is a version 
prior to 1.7.6?

Best Regards,
Octávio Filipe Gonçalves
