This is a bit outdated. Right now we only have:
AC_PREREQ(2.65)

which IIUC means 2.65 or higher.

"autoreconf" fails for me, but "autoconf" works. I'm not sure what's the 
difference.

By the way, the dev FAQ is now maintained at http://hg.python.org/devguide/ 
although this still needs putting in www.python.org.
