Comment(by dr2chase@…):

 And if I may add, ditto!  I've tried to work around this the hard way, and
 found the following obstacles:

 - use of /usr/bin/autoconf is preferred to all others (in particular, it
 will ignore whichever one MacPorts installed, and it will not allow me to
 perform the sleazy expedient of wrapping autoconf in a shell script that
 lies about the version number).

 - asking macports to install "autoconf at 2.54" installs autoconf at 2.63,
 without any complaints.  This seems wrong.

 - performing first "port extract arts", then editing the offending script,
 and then performing "port -v install arts" or "port -d install arts" does
 not work, because there's a secret step (not listed in the verbose/debug
 output) in which the changes made to the buggy script (admin/cvs.sh) are
 silently discarded.

 I've tried every sleazy trick I know to work around this.  This bug has
 been sitting here for 6 months.  The "fix" is relatively easy, if I knew
 how to substitute a corrected admin/cvs.sh, without it being substituted
 back behind my back.  Can we get a little help here?
