Primarily lack of review time, on my part.  I just got back
from vacation, and now have several hundred emails to plow
through (and thanks to Paolo and Ralf for manning things
while I was rather unresponsive).  But I hope to release 2.65
relatively soon, given that the FSF has finally come up with
a license exception that will let us advance to GPLv3+.  In
all likelihood, your Erlang patches will be included in some
form or another, given that you have the expertise in this
area of autoconf.
