Try to abandon all old Autoconf and Automake (if you use both). Go through the
NEWS files of each of the two packages, take notes for incompatible changes
(looking up newer constructs in the manual as you go along). Go through your
build system and adjust.
Unfortunately, this is not an option :( - I am not a product (Mozilla) owner.

Simultaneously targeting 2.59 and newer is moderately easy, and still supported
by this list. Supporting 2.50 and newer is a bit tougher, but not intractable.
But simultaneously supporting 2.13 and 2.50+ is MUCH harder, with very few
people even attempting it.
If m4_version_compare is defined (added in 2.53, documented in 2.62), then use
it. Otherwise, you know that you are targeting an older autoconf.
Thanks for all advices and opinions. I'll try to accommodate them to my task.
Best regards,
