GNU Emacs doesn't have an autoconf mode =(O|  If you can find an 
autoconf-mode.el that works with GNU emacs, then I'd accept a patch to make 
the change you request provided you add the url for the elisp file to README 
along with a note on why it is necessary for GNU Emacs users...

Many Thanks! I have applied the attached instead (based very much on your 
patch).  Let me know if it doesn't work for you...

Cheers,
