Jerry Hicks informed me, that autoheader is part of the autoconf package,
and pointed me to the solution:
Download from a FTP-site with GNU-software autoconf and m4 (required by
autoconf) and install these.
Thank you, Jerry.

But I still wonder, why the autoheader-program is needed. FYI, my host is a
HP-ws, running HP-UX 10.20.
