[patch] cygport-0.2.7 autoconf-2.61/automake-1.10 support

[Charles Wilson]

Two minor changes missed in 0.2.7's ac2.61 support:

   (1) prefer --datarootdir for ac2.60 *and above*, not just ac2.60
   (2) automake-1.10's aclocal inserts more stringent error checking
       for autoconf version mismatch into aclocal.m4.  This error
       checking cause <current> autoreconf to complain if it is newer
       than the autoconf used originally. See aclocal snippet below:

 From aclocal-1.10:
--------------------------
   if ($ac_version)
     {
       # Do not use "$output_file" here for the same reason we do not
       # use it in the header below.  autom4te will output the name of
       # the file in the diagnostic anyway.
       $output = "m4_if(m4_PACKAGE_VERSION, [$ac_version],,
[m4_fatal([this file was generated for autoconf $ac_version.
You have another version of autoconf.  If you want to use that,
you should regenerate the build system entirely.], [63])])
--------------------------

I interpret "regenerate the build system entirely" to mean "remove all 
autotool generated files before running autoreconf".

	* bin/cygport.in: use --datarootdir in preference
	to --datadir/--infodir/--mandir when using
	autoconf-2.60 and later.
	* autogen.sh: Ensure that autoconf will not complain
	when it is newer than the one previously used (needed
	because automake-1.10's aclocal now inserts more stringent
	checking into aclocal.m4)
