1. About aclocal.m4's, there are a bunch more generated from other versions of
automake than 1.15.1:

Should I make sure to re-generate all of them? I was running "autoconf" only, but
it seems like running "autoreconf" will also update aclocal.m4 and config.in if needed.
2. How do I update those */doc/Makefile.in? When I try to run automake in these
directories, I get:
automake: error: 'configure.ac' is required
and indeed, there is no configure.ac in the doc directories.
