    Summary: A GNU tool for automatically configuring source code
    Description: 
    GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles.
    Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable
    packages, since the person building the package is allowed to
    specify various configuration options.
    
    You should install Autoconf if you are developing software and you'd
    like to use it to create shell scripts which will configure your
    source code packages.  If you are installing Autoconf, you will also
    need to install the GNU m4 package.
    
    Note that the Autoconf package is not required for the end user who
    may be configuring software with an Autoconf-generated script;
    Autoconf is only required for the generation of the scripts, not
    their use.

    - Backported upstream commit to fix the _AC_LANG_IO_PROGRAM(C) macro to work
      with glibc 2.38 headers.

    - Reintroduced the fix for the AC_PROG_CXXCPP macro, which addresses the issue
      where the absence of the C++ preprocessor was considered fatal.  This fix was
      initially introduced in the autoconf release 2.59-alt2 but was lost in the
      2.71-alt1 release.
    - Backported upstream commits related to (thx Paul Eggert):
      - Porting AC_LANG_CALL(C) macro to C++ (thx Paul Eggert);
      - Porting to compilers that moan about K&R func declarations
        (thx Paul Eggert and Zack Weinberg).
    July 21, 2023 Gleb Fotengauer-Malinovskiy 2.71-alt1
    - Updated to v2.71 (ALT#42349).
