New description:

 The log contains the familiar :
 {{{
     :info:configure configure.in:4: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro
 is obsolete.
     :info:configure     You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro
 instead.
 }}}

 Can somebody please go through all the MacPorts database and fix these
 macros so that we don't have to fix them one bug report at a time?

Comment:

 I'm not aware of a viable automated way for us to discover all the ports
 that need this fix; we rely on users to report the problems to us, and
 then we can fix them. If you know of an automated solution, please let us
 know on the macports-dev mailing list.
