>From the autoconf 2.53 manual:

AC_INIT (package, version, [bug-report], [tarname]) 
Process any command-line arguments and perform various initializations
and verifications.

Set the name of the package and its version.  These are typically used
in `--version' support, including that of configure.  The optional
argument bug-report should be the email to which users should send bug
reports.  The package tarname differs from package: the latter
designates the full package name (e.g., `GNU Autoconf'), while the
latter is meant for distribution tar ball names (e.g., `autoconf').  It
defaults to package once `GNU ' strip, lower cased, and all non
alphanumeric character mapped onto `-'.


Should have guessed that the old autoconf handled that differently :(.
Anyway, screw it then. Guess in year autoconf 2.5x will be standart,
then we can change it.
