Thread: Autoconf update?

Does anyone object if we moved to Autoconf 2.59?  It's been the last 
release for 18 months now, so it seems reasonable to settle on it.  I'm 
not actually looking to use features from there, but it gets a bit 
annoying to have to keep so many Autoconf versions around.

Well, it'll still be necessary to keep 2.53 around, unless you want to
move to 2.59 for future releases of the back branches too ... which
might be OK, I'm not sure.

I thought it was to help the public not have to keep so many versions 
around :)
