The switch to > Autoconf 2.5x was done on the trunk only. Is there any way to make it compatible with both 2.13 and 2.5x? I agree that would be a good thing to do. I hesitated to install the new configure.in which requires Autoconf 2.53, but it would be nice to make the old one support both Autoconf versions if that is possible.
