+[I] A GNU tool for automatically configuring source code (compatibility version)
+
+[T] Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
+[T] scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
+[T] These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
+[T] systems without manual user intervention.  Autoconf creates a
+[T] configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
+[T] operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4
+[T] macro calls.
+[T] This is version 2.13, required for compatibility with source code that
+[T] does not support newer autoconf versions.
