Since the perl version required in Automake::Getopt has been

effect of making autoconf compatible again with all perls in
the 5.6.x release series.
* maint.mk: Resync via 'make fetch'.
* lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm: Likewise.

* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_ENV): Don't assume that if one grep

and fails somewhat at random. This would explain the problems
reported for autoconf-2.68b on FreeBSD and MacOS X, for example:

It's needed regardless, and I think it may attack
some failures being reported for FreeBSD and MacOS X.
