Hi,

When trying to update existing configure.ins with autoupdate from the
new CVS autoconf, autoupdate converts old configure.ins into
configure.ins not suiteable to be used with autoconf <= 2.13
anymore.(e.g. AC_OUTPUT / AC_CONFIG_FILES handling).

Therefore I would propose that autoupdate should either
* change AC_PREREQ(<version>) into  AC_PREREQ(<suiteable version>) if it
finds AC_PREREQ in a configure.in.
or
* always prepend AC_PREREQ(<suiteable version>) to configure.ins

Unfortunately too many things have changed since autoconf-2.13, so that
I don't feel able to provide a patch.

Ralf
