This is not what the error message says.

Your second point explains the first.

cygport attempts to detect the version of autoconf used to generate the 
./configure script, so it knows what options it supports.

If that detection fails (as in this case, because it's generated by 
customized version), you can set AUTOCONF_VERSION appropriately.

For configure files generated by dickey's variant of autoconf, the 
correct thing seems to be to use AUTOCONF_VERSION="2.50"
