This latest commit has a regression, in the $autopoint_works_without_gtver
determination (bin/autoreconf.in around line 600).

The autopoint versions that should match are:
  - 0.23.x with x >= 2
  - 0.24.x with x >= 2
  - 0.25.x with x >= 1
  - 0.26 and newer.
Because this is where the fix was deployed in July 2025 [1].

The previous regex did that correctly (and also allowed version suffixes
that are not numbers).

The new regex that you put in there rejects the versions 0.23.2 and 0.24.2,
Version 0.23.2 is the current one on Debian Unstable, Ubuntu 26.04, and
Chimera Linux [2].

Ubuntu 26.04 is an LTS release and will soon be widely deployed.

Please change that regex to allow again the versions 0.23.x with x >= 2
and 0.24.x with x >= 2.
