Please, do not. Specifically, autoconf 2.6x is known buggy for x =
0,1. Installs of autoconf 2.6x will cause build problems for other
applications with 100% correct configure.in. It doesn't error, it
simply produces an incorrect configure.
AFAIK 2.59 is happy enough with datarootdir-correct configure.in, so
there's no need to bump the require once you've fixed configure.in.

It's not just darcs that will be affected.
