autoconf issues

Dear Xvid devs,

first, let me congratulate you to the 1.3.0 release.

However, I've found issues with your usage of autoconf in the 
build/generic directory:

1) The files config.guess and config.sub in this directory are 
*ancient* (they date back to 2003) and should really get replaced by 
more current ones. They are available e.g. here:
<http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config>

2a) The configure script has been created with an ancient version 
(2.59) of autoconf, which also dates back to 2003. Please regenerate 
it with a current version of autoconf.

2b) But then, the configure.in template for autoconf contains a syntax 
error that makes the generated configure script generate faulty code. 
Please find a simple patch attached or (in case it gets mangled) here:
<http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/xvidcore.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/configure.in-fix.patch>

Best regards,
Fabian
