Description
autoconf-2.66+ exposes an apparent underquoting bug in pkg.m4 that was causing some ports (such as xorg-libXp) to fail with errors of the form:
configure:12439: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FDdnl
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
The attached patches add the appropriate quoting that fixes these errors.

Can somebody describe where and how to apply these patches? I am new to MacPorts and dead in the water right now.

Briefly: Change the portfile in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/pkgconfig as per the diff and then create a directory called files in that same directory and put the other .diff file in it. Then install pkgconfig again.
