Why request developers ensure this and not bump the AC_PREREQ to make
sure?


Toplevel config/override.m4 should already cause failure if you use
anything other than Autoconf 2.64 (but it doesn't ensure Automake 1.11).

In addition to enforcing the version number, the AC_PREREQ in all the configure.ac files documents to the reader of the file what version to use. It's now out of date and a source of possible confusion. I would suggest either (preferably) updating them all to 2.64 or removing them.
