AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE - > AC_INIT

[Jan Vermaete]

Hello,
A long time ago, I wrote this code into a configure.in file:
  dnl Extract VERSION from the CVS tag
  VERSION=[`echo '$Name:  $' | sed -e 's/^\$//' -e 's/ \$$//' -e
's/^Name: //' -e 's/v_//' -e 's/[\_\.]/./g' `]
  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE("mcas", $VERSION)
It extracte a cvs tag ( like v_0_1_1) to 0.1.1 .

I recently upgrade my automake, autoconf and libtool to the latest stable 
versions.
So, I have changed AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to AC_INIT.
  AC_INIT([mcas], $VERSION , address@hidden)
But autoheader give me following error:
   configure.in:27: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: $VERSION

What's wrong, and how can I fix this.
