 ruby has a dependency on `port:autoconf`. Does it really require this
 autoconf version, or would it also be satisfied by using
 `/usr/bin/autoconf`?

 The autoconf port requires perl5. Although perl is also required by many
 other ports, it adds unnecessary build load for new users installing
 MacPorts explicitly to get the latest ruby version.

 Please consider changing the dependency to `bin:autoconf:autoconf`.
