I have automated the installation of Autotools for years because of
projects like MPICH that live at the bleeding edge of Autotools version
space.  Feel free to grab
https://github.com/jeffhammond/HPCInfo/blob/master/buildscripts/Autotools.md.
A more advanced version that may handle non-interactive cases better is
https://github.com/GlobalArrays/ga/blob/master/travis/install-autotools.sh.

Best,

Jeff
