 Debian's has done this since about ac 2.53.  I believe SuSE and Red
 Hat both do, as well.

 The Debian wrapper will puke, in a rather uninformative way if there's
 no AC_REQUIRE.
 Ben, please don't remove it.  The right thing to do is to update
 XEmacs's configure.in to 2.5x compatibility.  There's a patch in the
 queue from SuSE, has been for a long time (I've been hoping Didier
 would resurrect himself and review it ...). 
recently I have updated the xemacs packages for the next SuSE Linux
distribution to XEmacs 21.5.18. I'll attach our current autoconf patch
which is against XEmacs 21.5.18 in the hope that it is helpful.
I believe most of this patch is originally by Andreas Schwab
