Clean up "current" versions of autotools components to further reduce
tree-churn on updates.

Bump autoconf 2.67->2.68 -- will deal with any fallout.

Complete de-orbit burn sequence for automake19 and automake110.

Special thanks to Travis Thaxton (travis <at> thax.org) for his recent
kind hardware donation, without which this particular part of the
never-ending autotools work would have taken _considerably_ longer to do.

Purge automake15 from existence.  Only a few more to go now.

Purge 3 outdated, old-and-busted, versions of automake as part of
ongoing cleanup to find sanity in the world.

Feature safe:   yes (surprisingly)

Autotools update.   Read ports/UPDATING 20100915 for details.

Approved by:    portmgr (for Mk/bsd.port.mk part)
Tested by:      Multiple -exp runs

Reassign the autotools-related ports to a new mailing list,
autotools@FreeBSD.org.  This is for individuals willing to put in
the hard work to generate patches and work with portmgr as we put
them through -exp runs and work through port breakage that they
create.  (A huge number of ports depend on these, so -exp runs are
required.)

Thanks to aDe@ for all the thankless work he's done over the years
to tame these beasts.

Conversion from (now defunct) autoconf-2.61 to autoconf-2.62

Tested by:      exp build run (erwin)

Introduce autoconf 2.62, which can now be used by other ports with the
appropriate USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza.

Note that the mass-conversion from autoconf 2.61 -> 2.62 will take place
at a later date.

Switch autoconf dependencies from 2.53 or 2.59 to 2.61.
