Huh? $ /usr/bin/autoconf --force autoconf: no input file $ /usr/bin/autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59 *snip* $ /usr/bin/autoconf --help Usage: /usr/bin/autoconf [OPTION] ...

I can get neither one of plain 2.59 nor plain 2.13 to emit this exact usage message. > stdout: > old-m4-iface.at:135: exit code was 1, expected 0 > 15. old-m4-iface.at:89: 15.

Well, it may be safe to omit the --force here, but honestly, I haven't done any testing with CVS Libtool and Autoconf-2.13 yet, so I expect that to be buggy. And frankly, I'd rather support Automake-1.4 better than Autoconf-2.13. I also believe that nobody except GCC uses it any more (right?), and they don't use plain Libtool either. OTOH, I find it important that autoconf wrappers are supported decently. Which system is this, and which exact version of the wrapper, if any, so we can test it?
