Log message:
        Fix some bugs when using "$@" when there might be zero positional
        arguments in cases where this matters.
        
        * bin/autoconf.as: Rewrite so that the problem does not come up.
        * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG): Likewise.
        * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Likewise.
        * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
        
        * bin/autoheader.in: Use 'case' statement to work around problem.
        * bin/auto4mte.in: Likewise.
