[vlc-devel] Bootstrap failure (missing autoconf macro)

Went a bit further (though I suspect it would now break for other
combinations of autotools versions).
Now:

++ dirname ./bootstrap
+ cd .
+ ACLOCAL_ARGS='-I m4 '
+ test -d extras/contrib/bin
++ uname -s
+ test .Linux = .Darwin
+ pkg-config --version
+ PKGCONFIG=yes
+ export AUTOPOINT
+ test ''
+ AUTOPOINT=autopoint
+ autopoint --dry-run --force
+ set +x
generating modules/**/Makefile.am
.............................................................................
+ echo
+ echo
+ cp -f INSTALL INSTALL.git
+ autoreconf --install --force --verbose -I m4
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
