> Python's "configure.in" script typically requires a specific version of > autoconf.  At the moment, this reads:
>     version_required(2.61)

This is a bit outdated. Right now we only have:
AC_PREREQ(2.65)

which IIUC means 2.65 or higher.

> Do not edit "configure"; instead, edit "configure.in" and run
> "autoreconf"

"autoreconf" fails for me, but "autoconf" works. I'm not sure what's the difference.

By the way, the dev FAQ is now maintained at http://hg.python.org/devguide/ although this still needs putting in www.python.org.
