Sounds reasonable, but unfortunately there's a AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT() bug
in autoconf 2.61 that breaks our build unless a trivial workaround is
applied to the source. See Debian bugs

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403243
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403079

for details.

For the moment I'll be adding the workaround to MAIN to facilitate the
update to autoconf 2.61 there.

There's also the datarootdir problem when upgrading autoconf:

http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.unix.net-snmp-coders/browse_thread/thread/83954dbd7d771655/fda81537da568e08

so I'm not sure yet what to do with the branches.
