Here is what I've done so far. Comments are welcome. I will add
subscription information in the mailing list section, just haven't
done it yet.
The information pertains to Autoconf 2.50, so it shouldn't be commited
before Autoconf 2.50 is released. Should I commit this as a separate
file (autoconf-250.html) so it can be viewed on the web for those who
has knowledge of the URL? Is this what the .es file is for?

Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU m4. You

-for better performance) before configuring Autoconf, so that
