Ok, let me explain a bit more...
The problem here was in the kdevelop port. It should never have needed
to call autofuck in the first place, and this has now been fixed.
As to why it cannot find the correct version of autoconf, this is
basically because the names of the autoconf binary is different from
what the KDE stuff expects. We have autoconf257, but most Linux systems
for example would have it as autoconf2.57 or maybe autoconf-2.57
It's a PITA, and it would be nice if we had a full set of
"compatibility" symlinks in the autotools ports.
