It is too bad, I agree.  But using obsolete macros is no good either, sooner 
or later they are removed.  Ideally we should generate lisp/version.el and 
doc/emacs/emacs.texi from configure so the version number is only in 
configure.in.  But that would not be OK where configure is not used. 
Suggestions anyone?
