<title>Introduction to Autoconf2.13</title>
<para>
<application>Autoconf2.13</application> is an old version of
<application>Autoconf</application> . This old version accepts switches
which are not valid in more recent versions. Now that
<application>firefox</application> has started to use
<application>python2</application> for configuring, this old version is
required even if configure files have not been changed.

mv -v autoconf.texi autoconf213.texi &amp;&amp;

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para>
<command>mv -v autoconf.texi autoconf213.texi</command>: ensure that the
info file added by this package will not overwrite the more recent version.
</para>
<para>
<command>rm -v autoconf.info</command>: ensure that the info file will be
created by the current version of texinfo.
</para>
<para>
<command>--program-suffix=2.13</command>: ensure that the installed
programs have the version added to their names, so that only a script
which specifically looks for these old versions will find them.
</para>
<para>
<command>install -v -m644 ...</command>: the patch removes install-info
from the Makefile because that would install (and if necessary recreate)
standards.info which is an old version, so now
<filename>autoconf213.info</filename> has to be manually installed.
