autoconf update

[Dominic Fandrey]

Just out of curiosity, why a version bump because of a build
dependency?

I don't think an autoconf update should have an effect on any
/running/ software but build systems. And I don't see how rebuilding
all the software improves it.

This is not a criticism - I just think there is something I don't
understand and that worries me.
