Building fails on Debian woody because of stupid autoconf wrapper

[Kai Großjohann]

Debian woody has Autoconf 2.50 and 2.13 installed and chooses between
them based on heuristics.  Part of the heuristics are that it looks
for "AC_PREREQ(foo)" where foo is greater than 2.13.

And the aclocal.m4 that comes with Emacs contains AC_PREREQ(2.14)
right in the second line...

Is it worth doing something about this?  I've already submitted a bug
report to Debian suggesting that their heuristics ignore comment
lines.  And indeed, a simple change to the wrapper (ignore everything
from `dnl' to end of line) does the trick.
