Yes, from my knowledge the presently advocated versions of autotools are
2.13 for autoconf and 1.4 for automake. This was why Nathan and I worked
so hard to resolve this issue, and in the end, it turned out to be more or
less a bug in autoconf 2.13 (barfing over nested macros).

That said, I have been thinking of the need to do a cleanup act on the
autofoo in many of the modules to eliminate the warnings and complaints
usually output by autoconf 2.5x. For example, eliminating the use of
acconfig.h, adding the description parameter to AC_DEFINEs etc. It is
actually quite trivial to eliminate these warnings in most cases.
