Actually, this one isn't so bad, since it's simply a repocopy of  
devel/autoconf259 to devel/autoconf26, and then adding the necessary  
magic incantations elsewhere.  The other autoconf* ports will remain  
unaffected.

What *will* require a pointyhat run is the pending destruction of  
autoconf253, migrating to autoconf259.

The the fun *really* begins with the fledgling devel/autoconf-wrapper  
and devel/automake-wrapper ports ;)

But you probably don't want to know about that right now :)
