True. But if you apply 'the program being run', then you need a seperate
version for configure, as it is neither autoconf, nor the package,
really.
I guess that is what it boils down to: do we see 'configure' as a) a
program in its own right, b) an inextricable part of a package, or
c) part of autoconf (though included with many other packages).
I suppose b) seems the most logical choice.
So the shortest thing that has all the info and is compliant, would
probably be
GNU configure 2.50, for CVS 1.11.1
With the one drawback that it more clearly suggests 2.50 is configure's
version number.
