configure.ac is just the prefered new name of configure.in. autoconf-2.53 works fine with the old name, but some Linux distributions come with a wrapper that runs 2.53 when a configure.ac file is present and 2.13 otherwise (Debian 3.0). Needless to say that this creates more problems than it "fixes". > We should still use autoconf-2.13 for releasing 2.4.x, but may try > 2.53 for 2.5.x when this substr bug is fixed or removed. I don't think it's a bug. There were subtle changes regarding quoting in the new autoconf/automake versions. There is a section about the necessary changes in the autoconf info page, but I didn't read it yet.
