Hello,
it works, thank you very much.
I also added AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.13 directly into the cygport script,
before calling cygconf and it also worked fine without manually
setting that environment variable.
I think that it would be worth to update the cygport script into
autoconf2.1-2.13-12-src.tar.bz2 to make it working again also for
other people.
Sincerely,
Carlo Bramini.
