I found a helpful message by Corinna Vinschen in the cygwin mailing
list that explained this topic with autoconf
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html). From that, I
conclude that configure.in is missing a line with AC_PREREQ(2.13). This
would be the case in src/expect as well. Without this, the newer
version is used automatically, leading to the error. Can you confirm
this? Is it ok to put AC_PREREQ(2.13) into the configure.in files or is
there more to it than meets the eye?

Cheers
Stefan
