Actually, I've just changed it a little:

MD5: 17101da831cb8890609a3a04461402d9

This adds support for a new USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza;  'autotools:[build| 
run|both]'  which simply acts as a convenience function to ensure all  
versions of autoconf/automake/libtool are brought in, via the devel/ 
autotools metaport, rather than having to rely on a relatively  
obscure DEPENDS entry.

Just a little bit cleaner, that's all.  The devel/configgen Makefile  
now simply contains:

	USE_AUTOTOOLS= autotools:run

instead of the lots of lines of code previously.
