It should be sufficient to install autoconf-x.y into /home/user/bin or something similar. Installing autoconf from source really takes about 3 minutes. FWIW this was also documented in the devguide, as of: http://hg.python.org/devguide/rev/5432be4d4e1a

though that description was then removed in: http://hg.python.org/devguide/rev/27be97280cff
