cygport: build apps with an older version of autoreconf
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? Thanks, Hamish
