Debian has a system that allows both 2.50 and 2.13 to be installed
simultaneously, and then plain "autoconf" is a wrapper that guesses
which real version of autoconf is required. Last time I used it the
wrapper deduced that Subversion required 2.50, but it fell back to
2.13 for apr/apr-util since there is no indication that they needed or
supported 2.50.
