Good point. I remember that there was an issue involving automake when 
we tried to build vlc and I was not the one that solved it. It seems 
that the script needs an extra 'apt-get automake1.9'. I'll have a look 
at that tomorrow.

Every time someone tries Builder we get to squash a bug. I like it. :)
