The autoconf package has been updated to version 2.53b-1. Recall that
this package is not the REAL autoconf. It's a set of wrapper scripts
that call the REAL autoconf from autoconf-stable or autoconf-devel,
depending on the needs of your target. See this message
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html
Changes:
o Improve handling the '--help' option, so that the autoconf
tools may be called with '--help' from a directory where there
is no configure.[in|ac].
o Internal changes in how the scripts are constructed. Instead
of 7 practically identical 50k scripts, build each script from
common parts. This should make future maintainance and extension
easier.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to
your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'autoconf' from the 'Devel' category. You may need to click the
"Full" button if it doesn't show up.
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.
In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.
In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.
If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.
