For WANT_AUTOCONF="latest" in an ebuild (the default), autoconf:2.71 isn't installed, but autoconf:2.72 is, we error out like: ``` cat /var/tmp/portage/x11-plugins/asapm-3.1-r1/temp/autoconf.out ***** autoconf ***** ***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/x11-plugins/asapm-3.1-r1/work/asapm-3.1 ***** autoconf -I autoconf --force ac-wrapper: autoconf: warning: could not locate installed version for WANT_AUTOCONF='2.71'; ignoring Usage: autoconf [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir] [-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--version] [template-file] ```

This means that we can easily rollover to the latest installed on a system (and we also pull it in via _WANT_AUTOMAKE which is used for dependencies) because WANT_AUTOMAKE is based on the slots in _WANT_AUTOMAKE intersected with whatever is installed on the system. For autoconf, we weren't doing any of that, and were just hardcoding whatever the latest slot is! That's error prone on bumps but it also wasn't really possible to get right as-is without marking a new slot stable because of the entanglement between the dependencies, WANT_AUTOCONF, and no intersection being done (WANT_AUTOCONF wasn't dynamic at all). We now implement a similar scheme for autoconf as we already had for automake. This fixes the case where WANT_AUTOCONF="latest" in an ebuild (the default), autoconf:2.71 isn't installed, but autoconf:2.72 is. This sometimes worked before if the latest dep was slotted rather than unslotted like it is now (see below for why that's not easy to just fix) because the new slot would never get pulled in and hence the older slot which aligned with WANT_AUTOCONF's hardcoded value would be available. (I still think we should consider slotmoving older autoconfs but that's something to discuss and possibly do another time. See TODO.)

Add cases for each slot. I think we should really have the slots aligned to PV and slotmove as required but let's handle that another time. This would've hidden the original bug at least.
