Bug description: CVS incompatible with autoconf 2.13 (AC_LANG_POP)

With current CVS, I see the following output when running buildconf on a
Debian system:

$ ./buildconf
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.4-p4 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 1.4b
1996, (ok)
rebuilding Makefile templates
automake: configure.in: installing `Zend/ylwrap'
rebuilding configure
autoconf: Undefined macros:

rebuilding acconfig.h
rebuilding main/php_config.h.in
$

Needless to say, the resulting `./configure' file is not a valid shell
script.

I've verified also on a RedHat system that autoconf 2.13 does not provide
these macros; they are only available in autoconf 2.5x. If it is intended
that PHP CVS be compatible with autoconf 2.13, these macros should be
replaced with something more portable; otherwise, I'd appreciate it if the
configure.in was clearly tagged as being autoconf 2.5-specific, so that
Debian's autodetection has a chance at handling it properly.
