What are the technical requirements for the next Autoconf version?
IOW, which bugs _need_ to be fixed, which version requirements of other
software *really has* to be met before?

I cannot see any real requirements offhand.  I hold the necessity of
m4-2.0 for autoconf-2.60 to be a myth.  Is that correct?  If not, why?

All I can personally see are a few open issues, those that invariably
turn up all the time with less well supported systems/tools.
