I think this should be OK.
I'd like to point out to the other maintainers that this means that we
must start using a different version of autoconf, not the old ones we
have been using all these years. I think that is a step forward. But
it is a change of procedure.
Nathanael, please wait until Monday to commit this, to give people a
chance to comment.
Thanks for doing this work.
Ian
