Okay, now in CVS it's:
echo "aclocal..."
ACLOCAL=${ACLOCAL:-aclocal}
$ACLOCAL || aclocal-1.7 || aclocal-1.5 || aclocal || exit 1
 
This runs, but if no ACLOCAL is set it'll shortcut the attempts at 
aclocal-1.7 and aclocal-1.5. If it makes sense to try them, it should 
perhaps be:

ACLOCAL=${ACLOCAL:-aclocal-1.7}
$ACLOCAL || aclocal-1.5 || aclocal || exit 1

?
