autogen install or upgrade fails

[Ryan Schmidt]

Looks like homebrew has patched it:

https://github.com/Homebrew/formula-patches/blob/master/autogen/allow-guile-2.2.diff

I didn't see any upstream bug report or code change related to this so the issue probably needs to be reported to the developers of autogen.
