 This modification produce WARNING, WARNING and WARNINGs.
 When I imported this package, if using autoconf&automake instead of 
autoconf213&automake14,
 configure and build with no error, but "make test" failed.
 (now, no test errors with autoconf&automake, I don't know why).
 
 This problems depend on whether ${PREFIX}/share/aclocal contains macros that 
require autoconf>=2.50 or not.
 For me, they come from intltool, libtool-base, and gettext-m4, and without 
those packaes,
 configure&build&test fine, neither errors nor warnings.
 
 aclocal-1.4 scans ${PREFIX}/share/aclocal-1.4 then ${PREFIX}/share/aclocal if 
no --acdir option.
 For this package, if using "aclocal --acdir=${PREFIX}/share/aclocal-1.4",
 configure and build fine without the modification and with installed 
intltools, libtool-base and gettext-m4.
 
 Probably, pkgsrc should hide *.m4 macros for aclocal not came from depended 
packages,
 like *.pc files for pkg-config.
