What problems are you having with autoconf on MSYS/MinGW?

I built autoconf-2.61 and m4-1.4.9 directly from the gnu distribution
sources. Provided you have upgraded m4 first, autoconf passes all
tests.

Apparently you can also install autoconf-2.61 and m4-1.4.7 binaries
from:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148008

I ran build-setup.sh with autoconf-2.61 to create a new ./configure
and built build-improvements on my Solaris 10.2 x86 system and on
Windows without any problems.

Is there any particular reason you want to continue using the older
version autoconf-2.60? (I think you can, but I haven't actually built
2.60 on MSYS/MinGW.)
