>From tests/defs:
# User can set which tools from Autoconf to use.
test -z "$AUTOCONF" && AUTOCONF=autoconf
if ($AUTOCONF --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
has_autoconf=:
needs_autoconf=:
else
has_autoconf=false
needs_autoconf='exit 77'
fi
What's preventing you from removing the needs_autoconf variable entirely
and assigning something like
AUTOCONF='exit 77 &&'
in the case that autoconf is missing or broken? It removes a step and
becomes transparent when a test doesn't want to test $has_autoconf.
