@mrcarlberg will automake be used in 1.0 (node.js based)?
I don't think much will change in bootstrap.sh for version 1.0.
If someone wants to create a pull request with a fix for this test of automaker please feel free to do so...
A node.js-based installation would/should use a javascript rather than Bourne installer - the current one has pushed its environment beyond reasonable maintainability.
Are auto tools used beyond compiling narwhal's native environment interfaces (which become superfluous with node.js)?
Should not the current environment be considered in maintenance mode and all further effort directed to a node.js environment?
Is this worth pursuing? The node branch is usable for production under most circumstances and, imo, ready to be promoted to main.

bootstrap.sh fails on esc compilation if an automaker is found in the PATH, but too old a version. Instead, it should behave as if automake is not found and compile alternatively.
