missing does not support configure.ac in CVS or in 1.4-p4

[Kevin Dalley]

Martin Dickopp <address@hidden> reported noticed that the file
missing does not support configure.ac in either the latest CVS release
or in 1.4-p4.  This problem is limited to echo statements, but should
still be fixed.  Here is Martin's suggested patch:
