I just did and it makes no difference whatsoever. As I said I have all 
autoconf versions listed in the port tree installed concurrently and I 
have done a 
# portupgrade -aRr 

The issue seems to me that even though I have more than one autoconf 
version installed my system will default to one specific version that is not
the most recent (autoconf257). So how do I tell it which one to use?
