Bookmark this page for when you have time to learn some more...

http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/

Note in particular the link to the browsable online version and/or the 
downloadable tarball.

To cut a long story short, autoconf eventually writes out a file full of 
macro definitions, usually config.h. This will probably include a line like

#define VERSION 1.0

But the last time I read the autobook was about 7 months ago... YMMV.
