Sure thing.

If autoconf 2.59 is a prerequisite, perhaps it is time to change the
extension to ".ac".  My Debian system uses a "/usr/bin/autoconf"
diversion script which selects an apropriate autoconf version to invoke.
Among others, one of the checks is based upon extension.

	# Assume an input file ending in .ac is 2.50,
	# because that extension was introduced after 2.13.

emiel chyrellos:~/co/planner> autoconf2.50 -V
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

After changing autogen.sh from:

: ${AUTOCONF=autoconf}

to

: ${AUTOCONF=autoconf2.50}

I get the attached output.

Also attached a minor patch for autogen.sh that let me try the updated
extension (.ac).

Thanks again.

to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
