I see that older back branches are still using version 2.53 of autoconf,

Yup. We aren't changing back autoconf versions if we can help it ---
too much risk of breakage.
If so, fixing the plpython problem I reported
recently seems like too much work.
It's not a big problem if you install 'em into private subdirectories,
eg I have autoconf-2.53 installed with --prefix = /usr/local/autoconf-2.53
and do
PATH=/usr/local/autoconf-2.53/bin:$PATH autoconf
when I need to update back-branch configure scripts.
Ah! Thanks! What had failed for me was just running with
/path/to/old/autoconf - this one works however. Strange that a config
package can't work out where its own installed files are.
cheers
