Deprecated autoconf macros

[Stefan Husmann]

On Arch Linux (recent version, Rolling release) building from BZR the autogen.sh script fails. The messages:

configure.ac:24: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete.
      You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.

and
  configure.ac:29: error: 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC': this macro is obsolete.
      You should simply use the 'AC_PROG_CC' macro instead.
      Also, your code should no longer depend upon 'am_cv_prog_cc_stdc',
      but upon 'ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc'.

The checking routines find

checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... yes (version 2.69)
checking for automake >= 1.10 ... yes (version 1.13.1)
checking for glib-gettextize >= 2.0.0 ... yes (version 2.34.3)
checking for intltool >= 0.17 ... yes (version 0.50.2)

This patch fixes this issue in a matter "now it builds".

Yes, Sorry about that. The patch there works fine.
