Hardly, since it depends on the path setting for the test. You could to 
try to pick up specific apis by using aclocal-17 directly. If it;s not 
installed, than the system maybe doesn't have aclocal 1.7 installed. I 
have no idea how well this works with the different mechanisms different 
systems have employed to work out coexistance of different autotools apis.

anyway, I thought that autoreconf took care of picking the right 
versions automatically. Can't we just have

autoreconf

in autogen.sh and be done with it?
