Tijl Coosemans ec2102597a devel/autoconf*: restructure to prepare for 2.71
- Rename autoconf 2.13 port directory, package, and command all to
  autoconf2.13 just like ports like perl and python.
- Let USES=autoreconf run gtkdocize if necessary.
- Rewrite autoconf-wrapper and rename it autoconf-switch to reflect
  better what it does.
- Delete patch-bison.  It has been reverted upstream.
- Add a patch to let autoreconf set the AUTOCONF environment variable
  so subprocesses like automake use the correct version.
- Make building of info files optional.
- Address portlint, portclippy, portfmt issues in devel/autoconf*.

Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a
configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4
macro calls.
