I don't think that this is valid. You don't know if a package uses
autoconf. Moreover, there may be a reason why the package uses an
older autoconf than the one you have installed.

This wouldn't have helped in the case of this package. Rerunning
autoconf didn't change the configure script. I updated it to
autoconf2.50 which is the version patched to fix the bug elicited by
these X library changes.
