You're thinking of autoconf 2.13.  Autoconf 2.52 is fairly recent and should 
work.  I suspect the problem here is that gui-ftwl is confused by the --with-x 
configure option.  Unfortunately I can't test this now.

Martin: note that to get the XAW client to compile (if that is what you are 
trying to do) you need --enable-client=xaw.  It will no longer be detected by 
default.
