Missing autoconf/automake in Xcode 4.3

developmentxcode

After I purged Xcode 4.2 and installed Xcode 4.3 from App Store, I can not find autotools (automake/autoconf) through the command line. I've tried to run find /Applications/Xcode.app -name 'automake', but apparently they are not there..

Does anyone knows what is Apple's point to remove these essential toolsets?

For what it is worth- (and others stumbling onto this problem like I did) in the latest XCode (4.6, 4.5 and friends) autoconf is not even available in the command line tools.

I have manually installed just autoconf and a few friends, but still have trouble with some of the automake-ish software out there.
