Hello,

with new config.site now every autoconf 2.13 script generates a warning:

Warning: This configure script was generated using an old version of 
autoconf
Warning: Newer versions have much better DJGPP compatibility


What's the purpose of this warning? IMHO it is simply useless because 
configure scripts are meant to be run by all users who install from 
sources and not only by package maintainers. Ordinary users cannot fix 
this (you cannot take 2.13 configure.in, regenerate configure with new 
autoconf and expect it to work) and developers should be aware of this 
already.
