It's done.

Note some behavioral changes:

* The cache file config.cache is now off by default. If you still want
it, run './configure -C'.

* Specifying --host now means you are cross compiling. So don't do it.
Use --build if you really have to. Which you don't.

* Running 'autoconf' is now very slow. Too bad.

* Running 'autoconf' will leave a directory called autom4te.cache/ around.
Don't worry about it; make clean will remove it.

It seems a tad broken.

...
checking string usability... yes
checking string presence... yes
checking for string... yes
checking for class string in <string.h>... no
configure: error: neither <string> nor <string.h> seem to define the C++ class 'string'
$

Not having Autoconf 2.53 installed quite yet, I can't try altering the
configure inputs, but I think there may be a comma missing at the end of
line 15 of cxx.m4?

But rerunning autoconf should be fast, thanks to autom4te.cache.
