Or

configure (AC_PACKAGE_STRING)

This depends on whether or not you believe the version number of the
configure script follows the version number of the package.  I don't
think a configure-script really has a version number in that sense -
it should in that case be a combination of the configure.in-revision
and the autoconf version, but that's just me.
