I build Emacs just fine with autoconf 2.65, so I'd like to see a bug
report as to what the problem is supposed to be. If suddenly 2.68 is
needed, we should either increase AC_PREREQ, or figure out what recent
change requires 2.68 and remove it.

No, but I don't see why it should bother if configure.in does not
require such a version.
