I tried install subversion to RH7.3, where autoconf 2.13 is default, so
buildcheck.sh failed. Then I take quick look to script, and founded that I
could set AUTOCONF variable, which I set. Now buildcheck ran fine, but
afterward there was an error message:
FATAL ERROR: autoheader 2.50 needed, but that however didn't stop
autogen.sh.

... and I desperately missed that fatal error message. So more confusion
followed, until I found that I have to also set AUTOHEADER.

This is the story of this patch, I feel that it won't hurt check both of
them, and to be same time little bit more verbose. This could save
somebody's time (if she/he isn't familiar with autoconf).

BR, Jani
