1. autoconf

   I know that it doesn't matter as configure is in CVS, so there is no
   need for mere mortals to regenerate it, but why is
   
     RCS file: /projects/cvsroot/pgsql/configure.in,v
     revision 1.538
     date: 2007/11/26 12:31:07;  author: petere;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
     Require a specific Autoconf version, instead of a lower bound only.
   
   a good idea?
   
   Cheers,
   
   Patrick

   To avoid the autoconf version used to regenerate configure from being
   changed on a stable tree.
