For me, autoupdate does replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
The key to getting it to do this right is that you have to run aclocal
so that the AU_DEFUN([AM_CONFIG_HEADER], ...) from your non-ancient
Automake installation is then visible by autoupdate (i.e., copied in
aclocal.m4).  So you need to use aclocal-1.7 or newer.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
