I see.  Then the problem is that, unfortunately, it finds it on my
system and fails because it's too old.  So, are you suggesting that,
really, upstream's Autoconf configure should be changed to look for a
minimum emacs version?

Yes, I've tried it with the option on and off.  With the option on, it
installs .el files and one .png file under share/emacs/site-lisp; this
is the behavior right now without my patch.  With the option off, those
.el files and the .png file are not installed.
