This should be a fairly straight-forward case.
One possible debating point is whether I should include the Emacs Lisp files
that
autoconf installs by default:
- /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/autoconf-mode.el
- /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/autotest-mode.el
Previously, we didn't bother installing these in autoconf, but some other pkgs
(a2ps
and gnome-desktop-prefs) do provide similar files.
Also, if installed, would these constitute interfaces?
All comments welcome.

=================================================================
Update GNU Autoconf to 2.61
1. Summary
This fast-track increments the version of Autoconf in Solaris
to 2.61 and moves the package from /usr/sfw to /usr.
Patch release binding is requested.
2. Discussion
Autoconf is a utility that produces scripts to automatically
configure source code for building on different UNIX-like platforms.
It is usually used in conjunction with the other "auto tools",
automake and libtool, to make it easier to build applications on
different platforms.
The version proposed here is the latest stable version available
and will replace version 2.59, which is currently in Solaris.
The installed files will also be moved from /usr/sfw to /usr so
that the commands can be located in the default path.
Autoconf is delivered as:
- Seven scripts (Perl and Bourne shell), to be installed
in /usr/bin
- a set of private Perl modules and M4 macros installed under
/usr/share/autoconf
- man pages and info documents
