Running autoconf is only part of the process by which the configure 
script is made.  You need to figure out which plugins to include and 
generate some local macro definitions too.  Try this instead:

	./mkacinc > acplugins.m4
	aclocal
	autoconf -o configure-test
	rm acplugins.m4

or, if you prefer:

	cp configure configure.old
	make

Cheers,
Ian
