His problem was independent of autoconf versions; it had to do
with the new config.in and configure being needed in order to generate
the proper symbols that the new src/*.c files were using. He didn't
have a proper autoconf on his platform, and so was relying on the
fallback copies of config.in and configure that are checked in somewhere
else.

Well, for one thing, we'll avoid unnecessary churning due only
to Autoconf version skew. :-) If we're going to use some
Autoconf version for the cron job, we might as well use the
latest stable version, since it generates a bit better output.
Again, it's no big deal, as maintainers should be expected to
work around any of these issues. I do hope, though, that the
latest Autoconf is used whenever we make a tarball intended for
non-maintainers.
