It's only been a bit over five years since I reworked binutils
configury to use automake and libtool.
I guess it was about two years before that that Ken Raeburn and I
changed the binutils to use autoconf.
I'm sure I don't know why autoconf 2.5 is not called autoconf 3.
Still, switching to autoconf 2.5 is surely a smaller change than
either of those.
It should be easy enough to extend AC_PREREQ a bit to make sure that
people use the correct version of autoconf for the directory in
question.
Perhaps --enable-maintainer-mode could be extended to specify a PATH
to use to find the tools.
