Backquotes in quotes in backquotes (Was: Success (mostly) with the testsuite)

[Akim Demaille]

Daniele, I'm applying the patch you need to be able to use CVS
Autoconf.  May I ask you if you could fetch CVS Autoconf and check
that the test suite succeeds?

Thanks a lot!

        * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Don't use
        `... echo "error: \\\`$f'" ...`
        as it's not portable to BSDI 1.3.
        Do this instead:
        `... echo "error: $f" ...`
        Reported by Daniele Arena.
