Not true.
When you install autoconf2.13, the default executable becomes a wrapper
that calls either autoconf2.13 or autoconf appropriately.
All autoconf 2.5x/2.6x versions have recommended that the input file be
called "configure.ac" (not configure.in) and required that the file
contain an appropriate AC_PREREQ() line.
This is sufficient to call the right script.
If you find a package that requires autoconf 2.5x/2.6x but uses
configure.in without AC_PREREQ, then that's a bug in that package not
autoconf.
