I believe it is the case that we don't currently require a specific 
version of autoconf.  autoconf is only run when making a committer makes 
a change to configure.ac et al and then it is run on the committer's 
machine.  So whatever is checked in for those files reflects the version 
of autoconf that the committer used.
