It's distro specific, and no, we can't use autoconf because many distros
use symbolic links between  real autoconf2.13 and /usr/bin/autoconf. The
configure.in is really for autoconf 2.50 and higher.

I may insert  a minimum requirement in the  configure.in (don't remember
the  exact macro  name for  that) but  anyway, this  does not  solve the
autoconf version problem.  That's why i added to  the script header this
sentence:
