Cygwin has a mechanism for dealing with a devel and a stable version
of the autotools.  This is normally transparent to the user

FWIW - either work for PLIB

NO 

If Charlie used the Cygwin setup program to get BOTH the
Devel and the Stable version of the gnu autotools then his
autoconf is NOT broken 

I downloaded the examples tarball and did a

aclocal
automake -a
autoconf
./configure
make

and things compiled 
< except for a problem with multi-texture calls >

So it does work with a current Cygwin Installation and
with BOTH the devel and and stable versions of autoconf
without any user intervention !!!

I haven't tried the autoconf patch
