Hi,

I got a message from running './autogen.sh' talk about using
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, I found the line in configure.ac is commentted:

# Enable only when we have autoconf --version >= 2.59
# on all platforms. Note that AC_PREREQ(2.59) may be
# insufficient to actually use v2.59 on OSX
#AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(macros)

It's not an error, so nothing affect the building, uncomment the line
just make autogen.sh quite about this.

I also found the discussion of this:

http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-November/014583
.html

It's 4 years ago, is it still true for MacOSX in the discussion? is it
safe to uncomment the line?

In MacOSX 10.5.8 /usr/bin/autoconf is version 2.61. I'm actually using the version in MacPorts which is 2.65. What's the earliest version of MacOSX supported? If it's Leopard then I think it's safe to require version autoconf 2.59 or later. I don't have a 10.4 system around so I can't see what version of autoconf it had.
