[crossfire] broken configure on opensolaris

[James Lopeman]

This issue is the second time auto-junk has broken on invidious (up to date 
centos 5.x ). Its a common OS on rented colo/virtual servers.

As an example centos uses libtool 1.5.22 ( June 2007 ). This is what invidious 
is using right now. I fixed mine with a new automake (1.11.1) and 
autoconf(2.6.3).

I'm not sure how a developer is supposed to know what versions of things are 
on all long release server OS's are, or what combo's are needed to work.
