[svn-r18580] Purpose:
Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix Description: Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows: Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65 Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1 Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile. A patch has been made available and will be included in the next release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler. Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles. Tested: jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers. h5committest

Configuration
-------------
+ - Upgraded versions of autotools used to generate configuration suite.
+ We now use Automake 1.11.1, Autoconf 2.65, and Libtool 2.2.6b.
+ (MAM 2010/04/15)
- Added the xlc-* and mpcc_r-* BASENAME patterns to be recognized as IBM
compilers so that the ibm compiler options can be added properly. This
allows non-system-default compiler command names (e.g. xlc-m.n.k.l) be
