Thanks for the heads-up.
The generated configure script had vestiges of an upcoming
patch (which works fine in my polluted work area, btw, but
nowhere else), and since there is no rule to regenerate configure
when configure.in is newer, I mistakenly checked in the stale copy.

I've just rerun autoconf and committed the new, regenerated file.
This is one of the reasons I really like to have complete and
accurate dependencies.  Does anyone know why we lack this particular one?

Would anyone object to my adding the missing rule?
