From memory:

  cd /tmp &&
  lynx -source ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.13.tar.gz |
    tar xvf - &&
  cd autoconf-2.13 &&
  mkdir $HOME/autoconf-2.13 &&
  ./configure --prefix $HOME/autoconf-2.13 &&
  make install

  PATH=$HOME/autoconf-2.13\:$PATH; export PATH  # if your shell is sh-like
  cd /where/was/freeciv
