release Autoconf?

[Lars J. Aas]

  Hi,

Shouldn't we push Autoconf out the door soon?  I don't see the point in
delaying the release any longer.  Nothing seems to be going on, so I
propose that we make a 2.50 branch and release 2.50 from it.  Then we can
continue general development in HEAD while maintaining the 2.50 branch by
applying bugfixes and release the 2.50.<patchlevel> series from it...
