While I like this in general, how this will interact with ports like
the php5 port that override the command? php5 does this:

[snip]

use_autoconf            yes
autoconf.cmd            ${prefix}/bin/autoconf213

So now due to the above change a dependency on autoconf gets added
even though php5 won't be using a binary called autoconf.       

I guess the unnecessary autoconf port won't actually be installed
because MacPorts will find the autoconf in /usr/bin to satisfy it...
Hmm...

You are right, this might pull in unnecessary dependencies. Should we
remove the dependency if autoconf.cmd is not the default value and it
has to be declared in the port itself?

Do we know how to do that? That sounds ideal.
