autoconf-2.62 --> 2.67 upgrade has broken build of postgresql-server-8.4.x

[Matthew Seaman]

Postgresql configure seems to be picky about exactly what version of
autoconf it works with:

===>>> Returning to dependency check for databases/postgresql84-server
===>>> Dependency check complete for databases/postgresql84-server
===>  Cleaning for postgresql-server-8.4.4_3



  =========== BACKUP YOUR DATA! =============
  As always, backup your data before
  upgrading. If the upgrade leads to a higher
  minor revision (e.g. 7.3.x -> 7.4), a dump
  and restore of all databases is
  required. This is *NOT* done by the port!

  Press ctrl-C *now* if you need to pg_dump.

configure.in:22: error: Autoconf version 2.62 is required.
Untested combinations of 'autoconf' and PostgreSQL versions are not
recommended.  You can remove the check from 'configure.in' but it is then
your responsibility whether the result works or not.
