Autoconf 1.12 is an anchient legacy version dating from eight years
ago. The current Autoconf is 2.59. If no one responded, it was
probably because your request was similar to proposing a design
change to the Model T Ford.
it's not so much a design change as maintenance for the benefit of those
still using that code w/ more recent VMS environments. for these users,
"current" is what is useful, no matter how ancient or legacy it may be
considered by others.
(believe me, VMS users have heard those particular terms dismissively
applied since the very beginning... ;-)
