Nope, it does not download Autoconf, it only fetches a part of Autoconf which
we use (some carefully crafted M4 macro—Autoconf is written in M4).
You really need to set up your developper environment by hand. Be sure to read
README-hacking.

It's part of Gettext. See README-hacking :)

Yes. In order to free *users* from these dependencies.

I develop on top of MacPorts, and need nothing else.
I'll install these two commits, be sure to update first next time you try.
Cheers!

bootstrap: relieve developpers from Gettext version mismatch issues
