It seems that my cygwin install has the following executables:
autoconf-2.13
autoconf-2.5x
and a symlink
/bin/autoconf -> /usr/share/autotools/ac-wrapper.pl*
which, in my case, invokes autoconf-2.5x. And, it must be the wrapper
that prints '2.5x' string....

Oh, that makes sense. I was able to configure and build on cygwin that
way :) Thanks. The test suite ran fully and successfully.
BTW, "make check" prints a wrong version :)
/bin/sh ./testsuite
