NO good!

You have to use the old autoconf (autoconf-2.13) IF you want to use it.
But better don't use it and use the file from CVS instead.

Not really - I don't see the error message which you posted
earlier. The idea was to not run autoconf* but to run -x
on the original file in CVS (which I just used again, it is
ok).
