Solution #1: Run autoconf on a system with Autoconf 2.57 and simply copy the `configure' over to the old system. (This is basically what you get by downloading the tarball.) Solution #2: Build and install autoconf with --prefix=$HOME/whatever, stick $HOME/whatever/bin at the front of your PATH and run the new Autoconf at your leisure without breaking anything system-wide. When you no longer need the new Autoconf, simply rm -rf $HOME/whatever. If Autoconf happens to require something else that you don't have, such as a newer m4 or Perl or whatever (which I don't know for a fact), grab those and build them with --prefix=$HOME/whatever as well. Repeat the procedure until done. This is how I bootstrap development on non-Linux systems where I don't have root access all the time. Both solutions should work equally well, with #2 being obviously preferred for anything more than one-shot testing. Take your pick.
