Description

In ​https://guide.macports.org/ it is possible to deduce the meaning of autoconf.cmd, however, it is not explicitly documented, contrary to other .cmd variables like configure.cmd.

For that matter, autoreconf.cmd and automake.cmd aren't documented either, but all .cmd options work the same way so there's not much to say.

Well, yes. For experienced Portfile writers everything is clear. For unexperienced users like me, however, it is not trivial to guess that (a) such a variable exists, and (b) what its default value is. A table that shows all available .cmd variables and its default values would be quite useful IMHO.
