I found a tiny fix for configure.in at Nov 26.

http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/configure.in.diff?r1=1.537;r2=1.538;f=h

It seems to me this check enforces us to use autoconf 2.59, not the latest one.
Is there any reason for this change?

For example, autoconf 2.61 is installed in the Fedora 7, 8 and rawhide,
so this chage will be troubled for many developers.

Thanks,
