Autoconf documentation.

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2010-May/083662.html indicates that autoreconf 2.62 can't handle AS_VAR_IF.
We introduced AS_VAR_IF in two places in git commit 21ac2928 which went into Tor 0.2.5.2-alpha.
If this is easy to fix, it seems wise to do so -- we have some relays (including at least one directory authority) that are still on autoreconf 2.62.
