Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
eliminate such inconsistencies.
* configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.

Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
* tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
* tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
