If 2.13 is so broken it can't handle absolute paths, then yes. 2.53 is also no good, but 2.52 seems to work fine. Since you don't need autoconf at all to build from the source dist, we can be rather specific in which autoconf version we are using. Supporting more versions would be nice, but if they are broken in a way that can't easily be worked around there are more important things to spend time on.

So you say that we should scrap 2.13 compatibility? Well, perhaps. Just too bad that autoconf 2.53 and/or its Debian package seems to be broken. :P
