Sorry :). I meant I wanted to have you released from having to toy with
Autoconf, and in particular to have to juggle with several versions at
the same time, and ensure bugward compatibility.
But your answer demonstrates I'm doomed to the failure: you are about
to open a new branch etc. for minor details. I mean, Autoconf is
making way too much fuss in the GCC world than it should, and opening
a branch to switch to 2.50 seems to demonstrate how big the disaster is.
