There is only one major change in Autoconf 2.59:
- ac_abs_builddir etc.
Absolute paths were actually relative in 2.58.
Autoconf 2.59 was originally released on 2003-11-12; see
<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2003-11/msg00003.html>.
Unfortunately it wasn’t copied to ftp ftp.gnu.org until today due to problems
that we had with the new ftp ftp.gnu.org upload procedures. Sorry about
the delay.
