Re: Latest autoconf breaks ccAudio, ccRTP

[Earnie Boyd]

You need an AC_PREREQ(2.53) in your configure.in file.

Cygwin has specialized scripts that search for AC_PREREQ to determine
whether or not to use 2.13 or the newer versions of autoconf.  If it
doesn't find an AC_PREREQ then it defaults to 2.13.
