Heh, quite ugly if you ask me :p

This is very weird...

That's ok. autoheader should have generated it.
Ok. I see what's going on. Debian is still using autoconf 2.13 (remember
all those backward compat problems when 2.50 was released?), so that's
why it's working for me. In Debian, if you have both autoconf2.13 and
2.52 installed, /usr/bin/autoconf gets diverted by 2.13 so you get 2.13
by default. I'll stop here, I guess you can't care less :D

I'll try to find some autoconf guru to see how you make configure.in
happy for both.

Or, Chris, we could just move to 2.52 (and rename it to configure.ac so
it shows).
