Doh! I cheated and looked in the goat book for the appropriate 
incantation.

Your README.CVS also includes this tidbit:

I didn't see that message, running Mac OS X 10.3.≥1, but check this out:

Does that suggest 1.6.7 is sufficient?

Or does that suggest that something bad might have happened that 
contaminated the configure script or its output?  As discussed [I think 
off the list], the 'make check' ran OK.

Perhaps others compiling 1.0.7 on OS X 10.3.1 or greater could look for 
those AM_CFLAGS and AM_CXXFLAGS warnings, as a second opinion?  I might 
have some weird compile environment on this machine.

It would be good to understand this admittedly minor issue before 
general release and update the warning if appropriate.
