[portmgr CC'ed due to importancy of this port to the overall ports
infrastructure]

You did not address your plans on when/how this port will return to 1.5.
We cannot put our head in the sand on this one (unlink libtool, this does
included new applicable functionality).

Please list the ports that broke so they may be addressed.  Many of the
ports that depend on automake probably really don't in truth need it.
Any package that uses Makefile.am+automake is suppose to supply a built
Makefile.in.

Automake 1.5 is now needed for Binutils and GCC work, so are we either
need an upgrade plan, or an "automake-current" port.  Actually, automake
should return to 1.5, and an automake14 port created (via repo copy).
The ports that cannot handle 1.5 can use the outdated version.
