Bug Description

trying to debug bug 693214 i noticed that you cannot run autogen.sh on hardy atm. Seems the old automake et al. doesn't like a few syntax elements we use:

sh autogen.sh
configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
libntrack_la_LDFLAGS: variable `AM_LDFLAGS' is used but `AM_LDFLAGS' is undefined
libntrack_la_LDFLAGS: variable `NULL' is used but `NULL' is undefined
common/Makefile.am: installing `./compile'
common/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
check_PROGRAMS: variable `NULL' is used but `NULL' is undefined
libntrack_glib_la_LDFLAGS: variable `AM_LDFLAGS' is used but `AM_LDFLAGS' is undefined
libntrack_glib_la_LDFLAGS: variable `NULL' is used but `NULL' is undefined
libntrack_gobject_la_LDFLAGS: variable `AM_LDFLAGS' is used but `AM_LDFLAGS' is undefined
libntrack_gobject_la_LDFLAGS: variable `NULL' is used but `NULL' is undefined
AM_LDFLAGS: variable `NULL' is used but `NULL' is undefined
libntrack_qt4_la_LDFLAGS: variable `NULL' is used but `NULL' is undefined
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
