configure.in was deprecated some years ago. We have a bug at Gentoo [1] to
move it to configure.ac.
I've done so in my git-clone of the postgresql repo, and ran autoupdate
to move away from the deprecated functions as well.
I generated the configure script again, but that didn't change.
make make check all succeeded without intervention.
