The checked-in mingw-w64-crt/Makefile.in was generated with 1.15.  
However the associated aclocal.m4 is generated with 1.14.1.  I don't 
know much about the build files, but is mixing and matching like this a 
good idea?

Since I need to regenerate Makefile.in, I need to decide what to do:

a) I could just let the generation process do what it does, effectively 
downgrading makefile.in from 1.15 back to 1.14.1.

b) I could 'trick' my build environment into building a 1.15 build file 
and just check in the changed Makefile.in.

c) I could use use "autoreconf -fiv" to regenerate all the build files 
in mingw-w64-crt with 1.15 and check them all in.

d) I could regenerate all the build files in the entire project to 1.15 
(some are as old as 1.11.6).

But honestly, I'm not particularly comfortable doing any of these.

I generally assume that newer versions fix problems or have other 
benefits, but sometimes they can introduce other issues.  For all I know 
there's a good reason things are the way they are.  And I'm certainly 
not going to be the best qualified to answer any questions or fix any 
problems that may arise as a result of c or d.

Hopefully someone who knows more about this stuff than I do can check in 
the 'right' fix to get things back in sync.
