Just to prove my point.

The second unrelated package -- CVS texinfo -- I'm testing current CVS
Autoconf on breaks as well due to this patch.  Paul, pretty please let's
just revert all these changes, so we can release 2.60 without headaches;
then we can put them back in, and I'll do some major "let's fix all
configure.ac scripts out there in the world" tour.

Meanwhile, please apply this patch to texinfo.

Cheers,
Ralf
