Hi folks,

Autotools needs m4 macros in autoreconf-archive to config for gcov and other dependencies or build fails with e.g.

"configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AX_CODE_COVERAGE
   If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
   See the Autoconf documentation."

CI scallywag setup does not install nor does cygport nor autoconf require autoconf-archive so packages have to include in BUILD_REQUIRES.

As autoconf requires: autoconf2.1 autoconf2.5 bash sed, I believe that would be the more appropriate place for an autoconf-archive requirement, otherwise cygport would have to require it, which is not so obvious.
