>Description:
autoreconf, part of the autoconf port behaves badly.
this is a perl script, and it would call all the stuff needed to bootstrap a projects auto environment.
there is for example
my $autoconf = $ENV{'AUTOCONF'} || '/usr/local/bin/autoconf259';
in it. on the other hand there is
my $libtoolize = $ENV{'LIBTOOLIZE'} || 'libtoolize';
beyound some others without path, which makes autoreconf fail.
I think that this is filled in by a configure option of the autoconf installation.
by adding references to the propper instances it would bring this to work.
>How-To-Repeat:
get for example webcit from subversion, head branch on www.citadel.org, and call ./autogen.sh
>Fix:
configure autoconf to interoperate with the whole family of tools
