Jim Meyering asked:

Yes, the current minimum requirement is autoconf 2.59.

Chasing the URLs in users.txt: Net::CDP, diffutils, gpg, gsasl, inetutils,
libdap, libksba, libprelude, libpreludedb, prelude-lml, prelude-manager, pspp,
texinfo. These all currently rely on autoconf 2.59. We don't gain popularity
if we force them to switch according to our schedule.
I'm adding this. Tested with autoconf-2.59 and automake-1.9.6.
