Supporting a range of versions of autoconf is admirable, but I think the more recent versions should have priority over older versions. From a little research, it seems that autoconf 2.50 was released in mid-2001 which really is some time ago. > I don't know whether there's a way to get the newer autoconfs not to > complain without breaking older autoconfs.

Yep, and that can be enforced by adding something like: AC_PREREQ(2.54) at the top of configure.in to prevent versions earlier than 2.54 being used.
