autoconf 2.50 documentation nits re Solaris versions |

The autoconf manual has a few minor nits when referring to Solaris
versions. Following normal convention, it says "SunOS" for version 4
and "Solaris" for later SunOS versions, but in one place it strays
from this convention. It attempts to identify the version of the
shell with "uname -a", but "showrev -c /bin/sh" is the proper command
for that. And it says "Solaris 2.8" one place where it should say
"Solaris 8".
Here is a patch.
