errors building the latest autoconf...

[erikw]

Dear autoconf list,

I am attempting to build the latest autoconf because it was suggested that
this would help with build problems in libwww.  The ./configure, make
clean, and make steps went well, but make install gives errors (the first
of several shown):

doc/install.texi:19: Unknown command `option'.
doc/install.texi:19: Misplaced {.
doc/install.texi:19: Misplaced }.

I must admit that I am rather a novice as far as the documentation building
steps go... any suggestions?

Thanks.
