Somewhere in cygport, a check is done for the autoconf version, please
change this check to allow autoconf 2.71 (as well as 2.59 and 2.69).
Then I can put back the "cygautoreconf" line in tcl.cygport.
You can do this locally until someone gets around to patching cygport. Just
patch /usr/share/cygclass/autotools.cygclass like this:
