Ok, you wanted it, not me :-)

Although I still don't feel comfortable about using Autoconf macros in
config.status, in this particular case the emitted code looks reasonably
and no uninitialized variables are used. And, yes, config.status still
works after that :-)

ChangeLog:
        * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): use
        _AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT to make the shell running
        config.status sane and POSIX-compatible.
