>Description:

Fetchmail-4.7.7's Makefile.in has the following description:

: config.h.in: acconfig.h configure.in
: 	autoheader $(ACFLAGS); touch config.h.in

Usually this isn't used because config.h.in is newer than acconfig.h and
configure.in.  But our pkg system updates configure.in by patch-ac, so
autoheader is invoked.  If autoconf isn't installed, the compiling will
fails.

>How-To-Repeat:

# RM `which autoheader`
% cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/fetchmail && make

>Fix:
