I decided not to do this. It is simpler and easier to understand if
we simply always add the version number.

I looked at this some more. The info can simply come from autoconf
itself. Automake puts `$(AUTOCONF)' into the Makefile.in, and this is
computed in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. So if we can get the autoconf version
at configure time we can easily handle this.
