+autoconf: don't append -dirty to version
+
+Don't append -dirty to autoconf version number if the buildroot git tree
+has uncommited changes.
+
+This script is meant for the autoconf developers, but it also activates
+if you build autoconf in a subdirectory of a git tree (E.G. like how it's
+commonly done in buildroot).
+
+The affect is that autoconf gets built as being version 2.65-dirty, which
+breaks programs (like Python) which explicitly checks for autoconf-2.65.
