Petter <pere@cc.uit.no> claimed to have rewritten "some of the makefiles
to use automake and libtool". He never posted the patches, and least not
to kaffe@rufus.
(see the thread around http://rufus.w3.org/tools/Kaffe/messages/2764.html)
You could send him mail and ask him.
About the bugs: the "bug" was that automake relied on Perl5, but Tom
wasn't aware of that. In fact, he said it should work with Perl4, but
it didn't, at least not for japhar. I sent mail to Tom in person back then,
which might explain why it didn't show up on the mailing list.
