It would be nice if we standardised on using the most recently released
autoconf, in order to keep diffs of the configure files to a minimum (I
understand your distaste for large diffs).
BUT ... nobody really needs to review changes to configure, since it's trivial
to regenerate it if there's a faulty/corrupt commit; so I don't think it's
anything to worry about if we have occasional large diffs in the configure
scripts.
