Bjørn Forsman 28ac782583 Some description fixes
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.

Rules:
 * Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
 * Start with capital letter
 * Don't end with full stop
 * Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."

I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.

GNU Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce
shell scripts to automatically configure software source code
packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of
UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf
creates a configuration script for a package from a template
file that lists the operating system features that the package
can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
