Description

Hello ruby team!

In my quest to learn about Ruby-lang's src i was reading through autoconf's documentation and got a bit confused about where the autoconf script was for ruby trunk until i found this paragraph in chapter 3.1:

Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which ‘.in’ means “to be processed by configure”). Using configure.ac is now preferred.

trunk is currently using configure.in - so i would like to propose we rename configure.in to be the preferred configure.ac. I think this is good and will help reduce confusion for anyone reading documentation for autoconf.

Thank you!
