This is wrong.  gnuplot doesn't work with autoconf-2.13 any longer.  You
must have version 2.52 or higher, as mentioned in the AC_PREREQ() of the
master configure.in.  Issued at hand are:

1) no, I don't think you're supposed to run ./configure in the lisp
directory manually.  Leave that to the master ./configure script and
tools.

2) it's not exactly a surprise that autoconf files generated by 2.13 with
automake-1.4/autoconf-2.52 generated ones don't mix well.

As a fix, I'll bump AC_PREREQ() in lisp/configure up to 2.52.
