While everyone else is discussing big ideas, it would be helpful for me
personally if autoconf just made a release with the latest bugfixes.

I report these compatibility issues upstream, and it's awkward to have
to tell the maintainers that they must cherry-pick a git commit,
rebuild autoconf, and then autoreconf their project before they can
even even think about exporting CFLAGS="-Werror=..." to build-test
their project.
