[STR New]

The macro call "AC_PREREQ(2.60)" was specified with the commit "Import CUPS
1.3.2" (c277e2f802a006f02ab9d5807f12bc96d4831100) according to the issue
"STR #2515" in the build script "cups-common.m4" on 2007-09-18.
This script gets included at a specific position so that I find that the
desired configuration check will be performed a bit too late.

I would generally suggest to move this check before the macro call
"AC_INIT".
