Hrm, what prompted this change? Almost every project I've ever
worked with calls the autoconf-ified file configure.in.

Since I was updating deprecated macro calls to their preferred
equivalents, I figured I'd do the same with the file name itself.
The name "configure.ac" is the preferred one from autoconf 2.50 onward -
"configure.in" is a deprecated name retained from 2.13 and earlier.
