To begin with, apply the patch I sent earlier.  This will #include 
<XLib.h> while checking for the other libraries.

After that I would rename configure.in as configure.ac, remove 
acconfig.h, and change the existing AC_DEFINE calls appropriately.  Once 
autoconf works again, run autoscan to look for missing tests.

If granted CVS access I'd be willing to work on this.  Of course, I 
can't guarantee I won't break anything but the end result should be 
better than the current build system.  Or I can keep sending patches.
