I'm confused... what makes it 2.60 instead of 2.58?

Sorry about the confusion.<BR>
The 2 changes are not really connected. The de facto lowest common denominator<BR>
for all x.org modules is 2.60 (4 years old). As I go along, I update the AC_PREREQ statement.<BR>
<BR>
The m4_ifdef I am removing was put in place in 2005 so that a new (at the time) feature<BR>
could be used on the old 2.57 level (8 years old now). <BR>
<BR>
I have yet to find a way of saying that clearly. No one uses 2.57 anymore (automake 1.9 won't even installed)<BR>
but if I write a patch just to bump up the number, then people get confused as well as it appears<BR>
to be gratuitous. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks
