please check again the version of autoconf/automake by starting from the
console (under your account):
autoconf --version.
automake --version

I guess the path settings you have are still pointing to the old
automake/autoconf stuff.
(like conflicts between /usr and /usr/local)

BTW: In this case it's also a good idea to delete "config.cache" (of
your toplevel project dir), if you'd already started ./configure (with a
configure-script, which was created by the old autoconf... somehow)

The older project do have an old acinclude.m4(.in).
We made the new project templates for compatibility reasons with KDE's
acinclude.m4 and for a better support of other distributions.

as you can see at this posting above, there is a flag 
AUTOMAKE_OPTION = 1.4 
which guarantees the usage of automake 1.4 and in this mess. you can
also
find the reason for the
AC_PREREQ([2.13]) inside acinclude.m4(.in)
