That's correct. There are plenty of ifdef we will be able to remove
once Automake require 2.50.

I agree with a patch Pavel once sent: it is none of automake's
busyness to deal with obsoleted macros, but current Automake cannot
use Autoconf's obsoleting macros. So next time, using only AU_DEFUN,
there is yet code to remove from automake.
