I build Emacs just fine with autoconf 2.65, so I'd like to see a bug report as to what the problem is supposed to be. If suddenly 2.68 is needed, we should either increase AC_PREREQ, or figure out what recent change requires 2.68 and remove it. > Would it be a lot of hassle to have the fencepost cron job use > Autoconf 2.68? No, but I don't see why it should bother if configure.in does not require such a version.
