I find that kind of irrelevant, because we expect people to install
autoconf from source anyway to avoid distro-specific behavior.
I suppose that waiting for it to get out into the wild might be good
from the standpoint of being sure it's bug-free, though.

Do these versions fix any bugs that affect us (i.e., that we've
not already created workarounds for)?
