What's the proper way to run autoconf on configure.in in MM2 in order to _not_ generate runstatedir options and code in the configure script? I note that the distributed configure script in MM2 doesn't have them, but simply running autoconf on configure.in produces a configure script that does. This option is harmless enough, since MM apparently doesn't need or use it, but for simplicity I'd like to be able to generate a configure script without it.
In my case, my autoconf which didn't generate those options in 2014 when I generated the current configure and which then was probably debian/ubuntu version 2.69-7 is now debian/ubuntu version 2.69-9 and it does generate them. See <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=759647>.
The bottom line is this is something that newer autoconf does and if your autoconf does it, I don't know a way to turn it off.
I looked at the code and that's kinda what I figured. Thanks
