Automake version 1.4 in CygWin vs. current Automake 1.9.2 ...

[Herb Martin]

In trying to configure/make DSpam on CygWin
1.5.18 (and failing) I was informed by the
DSpam author:

> Your automake is too old. These are the recommended minimum version
requirements: 

> # autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
> # ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.6
> # automake (GNU automake) 1.9.2

Automake in CygWin seems to be quite old compared 
to the current version -- is there a significant
impediment to upgrade?

Automake 1.9.2 completed make but "make check"
failed:

=====================================
20 of 514 tests failed
(34 tests were not run)
Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org
=====================================
