I'll paraphrase it:

----
# some comment
dnl
dnl some other comment
----

Stripping out all of the # and all of the dnl in configure.in just moves
it elsewhere - into one of the macros or aclocal/etc.

If you need the actual configure.in, easiest thing to do would be to
just grab ethereal from 

http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/ethereal-0.8.17-a.tar.gz

You would need other stuff (libpcap+gtk) to build it, but that is
sufficient for testing autoconf run I think.

I was able to track it down to the following - if I remove the entire
case block from the IPV6 check in aclocal.m4 (from acinclude.m4) - it
works, but I don't see anything in there that is screwy.

It's just a bunch of things like this:

---
                v6d)
                        AC_EGREP_CPP(yes, [dnl
#include </usr/local/v6/include/sys/types.h>
#ifdef __V6D__
yes
#endif],
                                [v6type=$i; v6lib=v6;
                                v6libdir=/usr/local/v6/lib;
                                CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/v6/include
$CFLAGS"])
                        ;;
