[ITP] gcc-tools-autoconf, gcc-tools-automake


Special versions of "pristine" (that is, no cygwin-special patches) of
autoconf-2.59 and automake-1.9.6 as required by gcc, installed into
/opt/gcc-tools/{bin|lib|share}.

This should make it easier for Dave, and those who want to help him, to
develop gcc and binutils -- avoiding things like this:

I already maintain "normal" autoconf and automake packages, but I'm
soliciting comments on these new packages because they are a little odd.
And no official packages yet uses the /opt tree, so...
