reconf problem
Hi all,
I've been trying to test on various platforms for the 3.0 release. One
recent issue I've noticed is that we require Autoconf 2.60:
configure.ac:26: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required
More recent Linux distributions are probably OK, but Solaris 10 x86 has
2.59, as does my Linux distribution at work.
Is this a hard requirement?

I may well have put it there, but if so the reason is lost to the
shrouds of time. I don't recall any particular reason, other than that
perhaps I was just trying to insert some repeatability into the process.

As you probably know, autoconf is only necessary for bootstrapping
the distribution that was checked-out from the repository. Once
configure & friends have been generated, the distribution can be
used on other machines that don't even have autoconf installed.
As is normally the case, the release distributions will have
configure, etc., included so that end-users won't have to run
reconf.

I don't know for I didn't put it there. But I would think there
was a reason. Also note that 2.60 was released somewhere mid-2006,
so it is almost 2 years old.
