Updating to current automake and autoconf release versions (but still using git versions of the toplevel scripts, not those from particular releases) is a good thing - remembering that toplevel is shared with the binutils-gdb and newlib-cygwin repositories (unfortunately some files sometimes get out of sync, especially in newlib-cygwin which people commonly don't update when changing the other repositories), so if subdirectories in those repositories aren't updated at least ensure that a mixture of versions (toplevel using a newer version than some subdirectories) works. (If libtool gets involved in the update, remember about reverting libtool commit 3334f7ed5851ef1e96b052f2984c4acdbf39e20c from the version of libtool code used.) -- Joseph S.
