Bingo!  "Generated automatically using autoconf version 2.13"
Hmmm.  I thought autogen.sh would recreate everything if necessary...

Surprisingly:  Deleting libltdl/configure and running autogen.sh from
guile-core does re-create libltdl/configure, but again using autoconf
2.13.  Only running autoconf by hand in the libltdl directory will use
autoconf 2.50.

I just realized that it is libtoolize (called from autogen.sh), which
creates a new configure script in libltdl, but using the old autoconf.
Why that is the case, I don't know.
