We'd have to rename configure.in as per $subject; but AFAIK that works
with extant autoconf, so we could just do it and leave it that way,
figuring that it'll have to happen eventually.
More ambitiously, we could just adopt 2.69b in HEAD and see what happens,
planning to revert only if things break. The cost to that is that
committers who want to commit configure.ac changes would have to install
2.69b. But they'd be having to install 2.70 whenever we move to that,
anyway, so I'm not sure that's a big cost.
