It's all coming back to me now...well, what I ever knew of autoconf
is coming back to me....

It appears I have both versions 2.13 and 2.58 installed in /usr/bin,
while autoconf is a link to a wrapper that invokes one or the other:

dmmcf@ness% ls -l /usr/bin/autoconf*
    Apr 19 19:46 /usr/bin/autoconf -> ../lib/autoconf/ac-wrapper.pl
    Apr 19 19:46 /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13
    Apr 19 19:46 /usr/bin/autoconf-2.58

dmmcf@ness% autoconf --version
    Autoconf version 2.13

dmmcf@ness% WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 autoconf --version
    autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.58

Sure enough,

    WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 autoconf configure.in > configure

runs fine with Robbie's code.

Thanks, Ray.  I feel a little better now.

Cheers,
Michael
