Wiki: automake wrong version

According to http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide 
automake 1.7 is needed.

I was using automake 1.7.3 but the xserver would not compile:


$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/projects/xorg-git/modular
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I 
/home/projects/xorg-git/modular/share/aclocal/  --output=aclocal.m4t
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is unchanged
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy
libtoolize: `config.guess' exists: use `--force' to overwrite
libtoolize: `config.sub' exists: use `--force' to overwrite
libtoolize: `ltmain.sh' exists: use `--force' to overwrite
autoreconf: running: /usr/local/bin/autoconf
autoreconf: running: /usr/local/bin/autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy
Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/local/bin/automake 
line 1241.
Use of uninitialized value in list assignment at 
/usr/local/share/automake-1.7/Automake/Channels.pm line 453.


Going to automake 1.9.7 got me past that.

I'd edit the page and update the version, but the page is (apparently) 
immutable.  Who can fix that?

Also, as I wrote before, the links to "known good versions" are broken.
