Hi there,

While trying to get the latest version of wxWidgets 3.0.x to build, I 
found that I need to use an older version of autoreconf, as the 
format seems to have changed in a slightly incompatible way.


The "cygautoreconf" command seems to always use the latest version of 
autoreconf, and refuses to run if the latest version of autoreconf 
isn't installed.


Eventually I realised that I can just skip this step for this 
particular package, but is there a way to use an older version of 
autoreconf with the "cygautoreconf" command?


I think this is controlled with the WANT_AUTOCONF variable?

Looks like it. My bad for not checking the manual more carefully.
