Comment (by cypherpunks):

 To avoid recompiling Tor with the Cartesian product of all released
 versions of Autoconf and Automake to see which ones are supported, i have
 made a table of the versions available on Debian and Ubuntu per release.
 The releases reflect the releases which Jenkins is currently testing. The
 list also includes the versions available with Homebrew on OS X, Cygwin on
 Windows and some BSDs.

 || '''Debian''' || squeeze || wheezy || jessie || stretch || sid ||
 || Autoconf || 2.67 || 2.69 || 2.69 || 2.69 || 2.69 ||
 || Automake || 1.11.1 || 1.11.6 || 1.14.1 || 1.15 || 1.15 ||
 || '''Ubuntu''' || precise || trusty || vivid || wily || xenial ||
 || Autoconf || 2.68 || 2.69 || 2.69 || 2.69 || 2.69 ||
 || Automake || 1.11.3 || 1.14.1 || 1.14.1 || 1.15 || 1.15 ||
 || '''OS X''' || Homebrew ||||||||||
 || Autoconf || 2.69 ||||||||||
 || Automake || 1.15 ||||||||||
 || '''Windows''' || Cygwin (x86) || Cygwin (x86_64) ||||||||
 || Autoconf || 2.69 || 2.69 ||||||||
 || Automake || 1.15 || 1.15 ||||||||
 || '''BSD''' || FreeBSD || OpenBSD || NetBSD ||||||
 || Autoconf || 2.69 || 2.69 || 2.69 ||||||
 || Automake || 1.15 || 1.15 || 1.15 ||||||

 Remaining questions
 * Are all operating systems that Tor should support in the table?
 * Is picking the oldest versions from the table the proper answer?
