Maybe we should make a meta-autoconf, something that detects the autoconf version and generates the proper configure.in. :-)

2003-04-22 10:13: Subject: --localdir backwards compatibility
The renaming of --localdir to --prepend-include is annoying when trying to keep a configure.in compatible between 2.13 and more modern versions. To make it less painful, I patched in some backwards compatibility to my local version of autoconf-2.57. Seems to work fine for me.
