The current Autoconf provides this:

/tmp % cat configure.in                                          nostromo 11:09
AC_COPYRIGHT([Hello World 2.14a])
AC_INIT
AC_OUTPUT
/tmp % ~ace/autoconf -m ~ace                                     nostromo 11:09
/tmp % ./configure --version                                     nostromo 11:09
