mxcl/homebrew — Issue #10686: Autoconf-2.68b wants testers

Not strictly an issue, but the folks at GNU are getting set to bump autoconf to 2.69. [They have asked people to test autoconf-2.68b.](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2012-03/msg00000.html)

Your devel block for autoconf.rb would look like this:

devel do
url 'ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.68b.tar.bz2'
sha1 '8b6ca702e97ac51efa860cf959ca294ac4219856'
end

and you probably want to `ENV.deparallelize` to reduce the variables before `make check`.
I posted this because now is the chance to get it right. Please `brew rm -f autoconf` and
repeat the test procedure at least twice. It takes 10min a run.
