autoreconf fails on Mac

[mouse07410]

@levitte here's the autotools problem I'm experiencing with both of these lessons:

$ autoreconf -vi
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: /opt/local/bin/aclocal -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: /opt/local/bin/glibtoolize --copy
autoreconf: running: /opt/local/bin/autoconf
configure.ac:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_FAILURE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /opt/local/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Somehow it doesn't seem to like AC_MSG_FAILURE macro. Here's what the offending code in configure.ac looks like:

AX_CHECK_OPENSSL(
  [have_openssl=yes],
  [AC_MSG_FAILURE([could not locate OpenSSL])]
)

The reason seems to be that ax_check_openssl.m4 is nowhere to be found (including OpenSSL repo).

Also, gettext is installed, but somehow autoreconf doesn't use it???

$ port installed gettext
The following ports are currently installed:
  gettext @0.19.7_0 (active)
$

Check this on stackoverflow.

Fixed in df44ee6, I hope. Care to verify?
