According to [1] both 'none' and 'any' were added in List::Util 1.33.

There is indeed a portability bug on the Automake side since
'configure.ac' claims to be compatible with Perl 5.6 and Looking at the
perl distributions [2] it seems that 5.6.2 does not have List::Util.

This requirement could probably be relaxed since Perl 5.6 is 18 years
old, however this can't be done in the micro (bugfix) release I intend
to make after fixing this bug.  So let's reimplement it ourselves for
now.
