I expected that since prior versions of automake automatically
distributed config.h.in without my having to tell it to do so,
then it would also distribute config-h.in in the same manner.
However, instead I hand edited (not yet under CVS) the Makefile.am
and snprintfv/Makefile.am files to add config-h.in to the
EXTRA_DIST sources.

I didn't think so.

config.status: error: cannot find input file: config-h.in
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

(P.S.  I think we are all trying to do a professional job.
       After 10 hours of struggle trying to upgrade autotools
       I was a bit out of temper.  Sorry.)
