The autoconf package has been updated to version 3.3.  Recall that this 
package is not the real autoconf, but is a wrapper system to delegate to 
the appropriate version of real autoconf (either 2.13 or 2.60 at present).

This is a major update, as I've switched from the Red Hat perl 
ac-wrapper to the gentoo bash ac-wrapper.  This eliminates the 
dependency on perl.

However, there should be no end-user impact; the new version should work 
identically to the old version.

Finally, I've switched to using the cygport build system; this package 
is based on the autoconf-3.2 distibuted by the cygwin-ports team.
