I've finally been able to track down all the RPMs of new versions of GNU
autotools I need to build curl from CVS. The buildconf script as of a few
days ago now checks for some pretty bleeding-edge versions. Are they really
required, or is it just a matter of keeping up to date with the latest tools?

One thing about the process that's not quite right is that the files
ltmain.sh, config.guess, config.sub and aclocal.m4 are all checked in to CVS.
These are all generated by various autotools and shouldn't be checked in.
Instead, buildconf should be changed to run 'libtoolize --copy' to generate
the first three files; aclocal.m4 is already generated in buildconf by aclocal.
Mismatches in these files can be a pain to track down.
