After working around the patching the wrong autoreconf, I find that
Debian misdetects our autoconf scripts as 2.13 scripts.
Debian requires either that you use configure.ac or you use AC_PREREQ
in configure.in--aclocal is not sufficient.
This does seem a bit broken on Debian's part, but unfortunately it is
in a stable release so it isn't getting fixed any time soon.
One option is to say we don't support building 1.3 on Debian 3.0.
We could also add AC_PREREQ to all the configure.in scripts in the tree.
