>Description:
The autoconf, aclocal, automake, autoheader executable names are non-standard
and break all auto-reconfiguration rules in common packages as well
as the "autoreconf" script.

The programs should be renamed as follows:

autoconf & co. - The most current version should be without version suffix:

autoconf259 -> autoconf
autoheader259 -> autoheader

There is not really a reason to keep older versions around except perhaps
autoconf213. IF they are kept around, autoreconf should be changed so it will
run the right versions; if autoreconf253 is run, it should run autoconf253
rather than autoconf (which fails).

automake & co. - These support version tags officially:

aclocal19 -> aclocal-1.9
automake19 -> automake-1.9

and so on. The ports should be changed to use these names to ease software
development. According changes may need to be made to
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
