I personally think we shouldn't worry about it. I *try* to use an autoconf
version at least as recent as what was used for the current file, but
beyond that it is unlikely anything depends on autoconf distroisms within
our own in tree configure.

Forcing humans to do weird tricks (always guaranteed to fail) to keep this
in some I'll defined state or another seems odd given anyone can rerun
autoconf (as the F package apparently does?) themselves if an issue with it
ever comes up. We only check it in and ship it in source tarballs as a
convenience.
