Ah, yes the autoconf language has changed a little since autoconf 2.13.
configure.ac is now the recommended input filename.

Normally this isn't a problem as only people using CVS (aka maintainers)
need to run the autotools via the bootstrap script.

If you can give me a shell on the build machine I could install more
recent autotools - or we could fall back to autoconf 2.13.

Autoconf 2.5x has been around for a while - I've recently upgraded the
libodbc++ project to use it.
