Thanks for looking into it. Before I saw your email I had come up with the 
attached patches but I will hold off on installing them as I don't want to get 
in your way.

The "m4_version_prereq([2.69.301-14265], ...)" in one of the patches indicates 
some of the portability problems here. Gnulib needs to work with Autoconf 2.69 
and earlier (obviously), but we need to test it with Autoconf prereleases too. 
There are some longstanding "m4_version_prereq([2.70], ...)" calls in Gnulib 
that should probably be changed to "m4_version_prereq([2.69.301-14265], ...)" 
now, before Autoconf 2.70 comes out.

I am assuming that "m4_version_prereq([2.69.301-14265], ...)" does the right 
thing with Autoconf beta version numbers; if not, that's an Autoconf bug that 
should get fixed....
