I've checked the ChangeLog and it dates at least back to 1992...
Anyways, I've tried a slightly changed format:
$ ./config.status --version
GNU Autoconf config.status 2.49e
configured by ../autoconf/configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.49e,
for host "nfs.trh.sim.no", with options ""

This configure script is free software; the Free Software Foundation
gives unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it.
