Let's do it just now: cd to the Tramp directory, and call `autoconf'.

I've declared autoconf 2.50 as prerequisite, because (according to
the ChangeLog) there have been major changes, f.e. with the AC_INIT
macro. So I propose you install a recent version (2.57 is the latest,
I guess).

This prerequisite can be deactivated by commenting out
"AC_PREREQ([2.50])" in configure.ac. If somebody is successfull with
an older autoconf version please let me know, so I can weaken this
one.

Best regards, Michael.
