This is almost surely the wrong way to go. The whole point of Autoconf is to test for the features your programs need, rather than look at various version numbers (a technique that sounds good at first but eventually leads to a maintenance nightmare). The same philosophy should be applied to Autoconf macros themselves. We don't want them to backslide into versionism.
