the idea is about the script which one can recreate easily - simply
check for the existance of configure.ac and forward to the newer
autoconf that is installed under a different name (and possibly a
different path). Choose a default for the case that no configure.ac
or configure.in is in the current directory. The rest is about
renaming/installing the two autoconf generations, packaging stuff.
