> It may be an Autoconf 2.12 problem:

I tried building "configure" with both Autoconf 2.12 and 2.13, and then
"diff"ed the scripts; the "diff" started out as:

	4c4
	< # Generated automatically using autoconf version 2.12 
	---
	> # Generated automatically using autoconf version 2.13 
	67a68
	> SHELL=${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh}

and, sure enough, when I tried running the "configure" script produced
by Autoconf 2.12, "Makefile" had

	SHELL = @SHELL@

and, when I did "make", I got:

	% make clean
	make: @SHELL@: Command not found
	@SHELL@cd . && autoconf
	make: @SHELL@: Command not found
	make: *** [configure] Error 127

so it looks as if we require Autoconf 2.13 - I'll put that

	AC_PREREQ(2.13)

into "configure.in".
