So, what is the oldest version of autoconf and automake that libvirt will insist on supporting?
RHEL5 is the minimum required platform, including full bootstrap from GIT source. This implies automake-1.9.6-2.1 and autoconf-2.59-12
Fair enough. That said, my patch to rename to configure.ac and use the more modern AC_CONFIG_HEADERS is still relevant, as both of those were supported in autoconf 2.59. I noticed the patch got attached with binary mime type last time; (I'm still fighting with email configuration of the machine where I first built the patch), so here it is again in plain text.

Sorry for being ignorant but what's the interest of renaming ? what does that change in practice ?
