There are others that are not quite so obvious.

Patch both configure.in, configure and any other files that might be 
regenerated from the configure.in patch.

I have an almost (85%) complete set of changes to upgrade automake and 
autoconf to 1.5 and 2.52 respectively while still retaining 1.4p5 and 2.13 as 
non-conflicting pkgs. I hope to be finished in the next couple of weeks.
