Autoconf 2.13 can't distinguish between --version and --verbose options.
The latter is apparently no longer a valid option, which is fine, but
then an attempt to use it should result in a usage message. Instead,
it is mistaken for the "--version" option.
This transcript shows all:
$ autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13
$ ls ./configure
ls: ./configure: No such file or directory /* correct */
$ autoconf --verbose
Autoconf version 2.13
$ ls ./configure
ls: ./configure: No such file or directory /* correct for --version */
$ autoconf --x
Usage: autoconf [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir]
[-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--version] [template-file]
