'Mature'?  Actually while I personally tend to use whatever version of
autoconf is installed for my own stuff, I have found a couple of
upstream projects that use autoconf 2.13 and are opposed to upgrading,
so that is going to be a problem.  Unfortunately I can't find the
packages in question at the moment, but I'll try to dig them up
tomorrow when I'm reunited with my laptop.
