Hi David.
Please tell me I sent that at 3am or something... at least I can claim tiredness
as an excuse for saying something so stupid. I even have a block diagram
somewhere round here. Doh!

Yup. My bad.

No, it scans it to figure out all sorts of other stuff though.

autoconf uses aclocal.m4 while generating configure.
But I think you are right about the running order of automake and autoconf,
though I always run automake first myself.
The only other thing that I can think of is that automake-1.4 doesn't like
autoconf-2.12.
