It looks great.  The name m4_PACKAGE_VERSION is somewhat misleading
however (as I understand it, it contains the current version of
autoconf right?  So why not name it like m4_AUTOCONF_VERSION or
whatever?).

Good point. There are other m4_PACKAGE_* macros that I did not document; basically, they all perform a hard-wired mapping to the contents of the PACKAGE_* macros from autoconf's configure script. I like your idea of making the public macro have a more obvious name. I'll rework my patch accordingly
(as in, add m4_AUTOCONF_VERSION as the new documented alias, and leave
m4_PACKAGE_VERSION available, but undocumented).

Sounds good.
