Wow, big changes in autoconf-land.  On my RedHat 7.1 I have

ged$ autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13

The bit of plplot code that's implicated is pretty ancient.  So I figure it's
a compatibility problem with the latest autoconf.. checking it out, thanks.

BTW I noticed the autoconf 2.52 .m4 files look really great in xemacs
font-lock mode (for the first time ever IIRC).
