The autoconf tutorial states that either a configure.ac or a
configure.in can be used initially. What is the difference and why
would you use the configure.ac over the configure.in?
the only difference is that configure.in was a wrongly chosen name,
no - it was chosen consistently with a previous convention.
The naming convention was changed (incompatibly) to accommodate autoconf.
Whether it's consistent now is also arguable, but not very interesting to
anyone.
