Similar warning messages occur when running autogen.sh on a checkout or
local branch of Inkscape trunk (outside of MacPorts, but using the
dependencies installed via an up-to-date MacPorts installation) - only
noticed after the autoconf port was updated to 2.68. It doesn't cause
any configure and/or build failures though for Inkscape AFAICT.


(Attached log file is from 2010-11-09; warnings still occur when
rebuilding after updating the checkout/branch via bazaar)
