FYI: six-tests-need-autoconf.patch

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

By installing Automake on a host lacking Autoconf I've discovered
the following 6 failures:
FAIL: confsub.test
FAIL: depdist.test 
FAIL: extra5.test
FAIL: nobase.test
FAIL: stamph2.test
FAIL: subdirbuiltsources.test

I'm committing the $needs_autoconf guards as shown below,
because the other tests do that.

However I'm wondering whether allowing people to install
Automake on an Autoconf-less system makes any sense at all.
Personally, I'd prefer that Automake's configure abort if
Autoconf is not found.  (This will probably be important
when Automake switches to --traces)
