Debian has a clever wrapper script (in the autoconf2.13 package) that
causes configure to get regenerated using 2.13 unless there's an
AC_PREREQ(2.5x) line in configure.in, or configure.in is named
configure.ac.
But I think that we really just ought to get the transition done,
assuming that it is in fact possible.
