Right.

Most changes don't rely specifically on 2.62 I think.  An exception may
be the obsolescence of `AC_AIX', `AC_GNU_SOURCE', `AC_ISC_POSIX' and
`AC_MINIX' (see
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=blob;f=NEWS).
OTOH, `AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS', which replaces them, appeared in 2.60.

Actually, `autoupdate' from 2.61 produces a similar result.  After a bit
of re-indenting, removal of `AC_DIAGNOSE' calls and of a few other
useless things, the patch for `master' is attached.  I'll commit it and
try to come up with something similar for 1.8 (I think the
`configure.in' differs slightly there).

Thanks,
Ludovic.
