[PATCH] python25 broken on current

The lang/python25 port fails to build on CURRENT from:

FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Mar  1 09:36:35 EET 2009 build at kobe:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KOBE

Apparently, the `configure.in' script of Python is missing a header file
in one of the custom check programs, which I could work around by
patching its `configure.in' script:

  root at kobe:/usr/ports/lang/python25# more files/patch-configure.in
  --- configure.in.orig   2009-03-04 04:01:25.000000000 +0200

But I don't know enough about Ports to make ports/lang/python25/Makefile
run autoconf on configure.in before trying to `make configure'.  I tried
patching the port Makefile with:

  root at kobe:/usr/ports/lang/python25# diff -u Makefile.orig Makefile

But this doesn't seem to work as I expected.

If I manually invoke `autoconf-2.62' in the WRKSRC directory of the port
and then `make configure' it builds fine.
