Good catch, but the fix is not right.  There is no written rule
stating that config.hin *must* be written by autoheader, it can be
written by hand, in which case autoheader must not override it.  So
I'm adjusting your patch so that when there is no config.hin, then
autoheader is run, since it's harmless.

Thanks!
