[mpich-discuss] ./maint/updatefiles and configure problems

[Dave Goodell]

Yeah, we can add something like this.  There is a version requirement  
specified in the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE line, but the actual check only  
occurs when automake is run.  So when your maint/updatefiles step  
bails after only running autoconf, you never get the more  
understandable message about version mismatch.
