Autoconf 2.53 is needed from now on

[Alexey M. <al...@hs...>]

Hello,

some of us will probably be extremely upset, but the sad truth is that
it seems like an upgrade to Autoconf 2.53 is needed for cvs-nserver
developers.

One of particular reasons for this is that cvs-nserver could not be
built under FreeBSD (with "argument to -V option is not specified"
diagnostics) because of Autoconf 2.52e bug.

I've seen this behaviour with checkpassword-pam, and it was completely
remedied after I've upgraded to Autoconf 2.53 (available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/).


The upgrade is scheduled within next two days.    Please prepare
accordingly.



NOTE: this of course does _not_ mean that end-users will have to
upgrade (or even install) Autoconf.
