configure not picking up autoconf version correctly

[Hans Forbrich]

configure gives a WARNING about autoconf/g++ combination.  I've upgraded my 
environment (SuSE 8.2) to autoconf 2.59 and still get the warning, as shown 
below.  (g++ and autoconf versions also shown).  

Either the message or the test  should be corrected.  

Thanks
/Hans
