So I'm ahead on automake, but behind on autoconf/autoheader.  
Interesting.

I think the problem will be with autoconf.  I looked over the 2.52 v's 
2.53 docs, and saw that AC_INIT is defined differently:

2.52:
Macro: AC_INIT (PACKAGE, VERSION, [BUG-REPORT-ADDRESS])


2.53:
Macro: AC_INIT (PACKAGE, VERSION, [BUG-REPORT], [TARNAME])


So, maybe I'll look at updating my autoconf?  And we should put 2.53 in 
the AC_PREREQ.
And maybe you should update automake just to be safe?

Mine yields only:
---------------
/* Name of package */
#define PACKAGE "nc6"
---------------

Defining PACKAGE as empty is pretty silly.... so much for backwards 
compatibility!  Personally, I think this might be a bug in autoconf - 
PACKAGE probably should be still defined.  Might have to do some more 
investigation.....
