- update to version 2.72
* Support for ensuring time_t is Y2038-safe
configure can now ensure that time_t can represent moments in time
after 18 January 2038, i.e. 2**31 - 1 seconds after the Unix epoch.
On most 64-bit systems this is true by default; the new feature
is detection of systems where time_t is a 32-bit signed integer by
default, *and* there is an alternative mode in which it is larger,
in which case that mode will be enabled.
* AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS now enables C23 Annex F extensions
by defining __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_EXT__.
* Configure scripts no longer support pre-1989 C compilers.
* Autoconf developers now need Perl 5.10 (2007) or later.
* Autoconf users now need GNU M4 1.4.8 (2006) or later.
* Some m4sh diversions have been renumbered.
* AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS and AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS no longer run test programs.
* All internal uses of AC_EGREP_CPP and AC_EGREP_HEADER have been removed.
- Update dependencies as recommendd to m4 1.4.16, Perl 5.10
- Drop patch autoreconf-ltdl.diff as similar code is part of upstream
- Drop patch fix-testsuite-failures-with-bash-5.2.patch, it is
part of upstream

* Noteworthy changes in release 2.69 (2012-04-24) [stable]
** Autoconf now requires perl 5.6 or better (but generated
configure scripts continue to run without perl).
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.68b (2012-03-01) [beta] Released
by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.68.*.
** Autoconf-generated configure scripts now unconditionally
re-execute themselves with $CONFIG_SHELL, if that's set in the
environment.
** The texinfo documentation no longer specifies "front-cover" or
"back-cover" texts, so that it may now be included in Debian's
"main" section.
** Support for the Go programming language has been added. The new
macro AC_LANG_GO sets variables GOC and GOFLAGS.
** AS_LITERAL_IF again treats '=' as a literal. Regression
introduced in 2.66.
** The macro AS_EXECUTABLE_P, present since 2.50, is now
documented.
** Macros
- AC_PROG_LN_S and AS_LN_S now fall back on 'cp -pR' (not 'cp -p')
if 'ln -s' does not work. This works better for symlinks to
directories.
- New macro AC_HEADER_CHECK_STDBOOL.
- New and updated macros for Fortran support:
AC_FC_CHECK_BOUNDS to enable array bounds checking
AC_F77_IMPLICIT_NONE and AC_FC_IMPLICIT_NONE to disable implicit integer
AC_FC_MODULE_EXTENSION to compute the Fortran 90 module name extension
AC_FC_MODULE_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module search path flag
AC_FC_MODULE_OUTPUT_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module output directory flag
AC_FC_PP_SRCEXT for preprocessed Fortran source files extensions
