Hello automakers.

The `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro refers, in its generated portion
of the configure help screen, to a broken hyperlink
<http://www.dmalloc.com/dmalloc.tar.gz>:

$ LC_ALL=C wget http://www.dmalloc.com/dmalloc.tar.gz

I think it should be enough to point the user to the dmalloc website,
hoping he can manage to grab a relase tarball from there by his own ;-)

So I pushed the following patch to maint (without merging to master
or branch-1.11).

Regards,

Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.

* m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
`http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
tarballs now).
