That's interesting... but not really good for OS/2 :(

The problem with that approach is that some people may use autoconf
for several projects. And since automake likes to run autoconf once in
a while for various reasons, you cannot really install autoconf under
another name just for LyX. It is sad that we cannot redefine the core
macros of an already installed autoconf at run time. This would allow
to do on-the-fly patching.
I think we can use the portable versions of the auxilliary files. The
problem is with the autoconf script itself.
