Hi Paul,

    help2man: can't get `--help' info from bin/automake
    Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr

So, the obvious question is, why can't help2man run bin/automake?
Clearly it works on other systems, and it doesn't seem like this should
be especially system-dependent. Can you run bin/automake --help by hand?

Also, I'm assuming this failure was running from the development source
tree.  Does the release tarball work on Solaris 10? --thanks, karl.
