Joe Marcus Clarke b2f6dcde26 Add gnu-autoconf, an unhacked version of autoconf-2.59 aimed at developers
that need to create cross-platform software distributions.  This port installs
into ${LOCALBASE}/gnu-autotools, so developers that need to make use of this
version of autoconf can adjust their paths accordingly.

Plaintext

Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a
configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4
macro calls.
This port is specifically designed for developers that want to create
cross-platform software distributions on FreeBSD. This version of autoconf
should _NEVER_ be used with the FreeBSD ports system as a replacement for the
versioned copies of autoconf.
