We need to be able to build OpenVPN on older Linux distros, such as
RHEL
4, that use pre-2.60 versions of autoconf.
I don't know about earlier, but autoconf 2.59 comes with
# m4_version_prereq(VERSION, [IF-OK], [IF-NOT = FAIL])
# ----------------------------------------------------
# Check this Autoconf version against VERSION.
AFICT this can be used to do things one way with older
versions and another with newer.
m4_version_preqreq(`2.60', datarootdir, datadir)
I can't say whether this is actually a better way
to do things.
