HOWTO install multiple Autoconfs

[David Fifield <david () bamsoftware com>]

It sometimes happens that you need to have different versions of
Autoconf installed (because your distro doesn't package the one you need
most by default). This is my recipe for installing multiple parallel
versions.

$ export VERSION=2.63
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-$VERSION.tar.bz2
$ tar xjvf autoconf-$VERSION.tar.bz2
$ cd autoconf-$VERSION/
$ ./configure --program-suffix=-$VERSION
$ sudo make install pkgdatadir="\$(datadir)/autoconf-$VERSION" pkglibdir="\$(datadir)/autoconf-$VERSION" 
pkgincludedir="\$(includedir)/autoconf-$VERSION"
