 What's the rationale for this change? There doesn't seem to be an issue  number. autoconf files up to 2.13 have the .in extension, autoconf files for 2.50 and newer the .ac extension.  This is a no change, except for having autoconf2.13 installed, and the autoconf then failing. Not sure it belongs in 3.1 though.

I told him he could change 3.1 for ease of maintenance in the future.
