The autoconf package has been updated to version 2.54-1. Recall that 
this package is not the REAL autoconf.  It's a set of wrapper scripts 
that call the REAL autoconf from autoconf-stable or autoconf-devel, 
depending on the needs of your target. See this message
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html

Changes:
    o improve handling the '--trace' option, so that it actually works.
    o add support for the new '--prepend-include' option
    o the "real" autom4te allows reordering its options.  That's hard
      to do in our wrapper script.  Since old autoconf-2.13 doesn't
      have or call autom4te, we don't really NEED a fancy wrapper
      script for autom4te.  So, change the autom4te wrapper to
      unconditionally forward to autoconf-devel's autom4te, and pass
      all of its options without parsing.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to
your system.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'autoconf' from the 'Devel' category.  You may need to click the
"Full" button if it doesn't show up.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.
