it seems we have to fix *autom4te* to support reading from stdin, as the
feature is needed for aclocal.
As soon as we do it, `autoconf -' will work again. The fact that this
feature has been broken for 5 years is not any reason for removing it
from the docs.

It was sane change. But the fact that a wrapper doesn't support a rarely
used feature is not any reason to remove that feature.
Have a nice day,
Stepan
