Which autoconf was the last "working" one is a matter of opinion at this point. The
Autoconf people would love for us to stop using 2.13 - the only reason it still exists is because we
use it. (Or so I'm told, anyway, I don't know this for a fact firsthand.) Personally,
I'd rather see PHP go to CMake. CMake does have its own host of problems, but they could be
dealt with. And yes, I would volunteer to revive the CMake effort.
