Looks good to me.

You should definitely regenerate configure after modifying  
configure.ac. However changing the version of autoconf used should be  
discussed first. In what way does the version of autoconf we've been  
using not detect X11 properly, and what is the implication of that  
improper detection?

I can't find the revision that change was made in so I don't know why  
it was done. On the other hand, why are the line endings in your  
newly generated configure script inconsistent?
