Figure I might as well chuck in my EUR 0.02 as well: what about

GNU configure (PACKAGE VERSION) AC_VERSION

After all, the relevant version number for configure itself, is that
of the autoconf that created it; the name & version of the package
it's intended for are useful extra information.
And since you explicitly call it _GNU_, there's probably no reason
to explicitly state it was created by autoconf here; after all, that
will already be listed at the top of the file anyway.
