Apparently, CentOS 5.7 version of autoconf is older than
what the nmh build process says is required. CentOS 5.7
provides autoconfig 2.59 but nmh is configured to require
2.61 and later.
I just looked ... and autoconf 2.59 was released in 2003, autoconf
2.61 was released in 2006. Yikes, I think CentOS is a bit behind
here :-)
I always have a bit of a problem deciding about using a new autoconf
feature or macro ... it's not easy to tell when something was added.
I wish the autoconf manual told you the version when each feature
was added. I think the reason I bumped that at the time was that
I was using 2.61 when I made those changes so I knew it was the
prerequisite. I might change the prereq to 2.68 when we convert to
Automake & Libtool, depending on how things shake out.
I'll update the documentation in the developer's file.
