Was the change in autoconf versions intentional and/or is it a problem? I think it was intentional (at least deliberate), but I think it is a problem and should be reverted. There is, at any point, the official version that Python uses for autoconf, which at the moment is 2.65. The rationale is that with changing autoconf versions, the actual configure script will change forth and back, confusing attributions (svn blame).

Why would anyone annotate configure? configure.in is stable wrt to autoconf versions.
