My mistake;  autoconf-2.13 merely generates a warning about AC_TRY_RUN
with branch 1.1.  It was only after I updated libtool that it required
2.50.

BTW, creating "test" branches to try stuff out, then merging them back,
is trivial with p4.  There wouldn't be any question about submitting.
(And this is where p4 beats svn also, so I've read.)
