With the attached patch to cvs.sh, automake-1.5/auto*-2.53 are found if 
they're somewhere in your path (not only in /usr/bin), very helpful if you 
need to install multiple versions and cannot create symlinks in /usr/bin.
It uses "type -p" to find the path, so if nobody considers this to be a 
problem I'd like to have this patch in Cvs.

regards,
