I tried autoreconf --force in the top-level source directory of texlive 
and got several warnings and one error:

configure:5043: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DIVERT_HELP
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

I assume I have to say 'm4_pattern_allow AC_DIVERT_HELP' somewhere, but 
where?

How important is it to run autoreconf?  Could the fact that the package 
uses an old version of libtool explain the segfault that I reported in 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2008-11/msg00214.html ?

I'm guessing that there's something more fundamental involved, having to 
do with the X11 upgrade, because texlive works fine when built under 
X11R6.99 (without autoreconf).
