CVS autoconf testsuite spurious messages

[Nicolas Joly]

Hi,

I just tested CVS autoconf on my Tru64 unix workstation and noticed a
spurious message during testsuite run :

[...]
## ------------------------------ ##
## GNU Autoconf 2.57a test suite. ##
## ------------------------------ ##

Executables (autoheader, autoupdate...).

  1: tools.at:47       ok (skipped near `tools.at:71')
sed: Cannot find or open file 
/home/njoly/temp/autoconf/tests/testsuite.dir/at-times.
  2: tools.at:92       ok
  3: tools.at:118      ok
[...]

This message exists for systems/shells that not implement `times'
command (at least Tru64 5.1 and NetBSD 1.6.1). Autoconf 2.57 was
protected, but it seems that it was removed in current CVS version.

Here follow a small patch to restore the expected behaviour :

Hope this helps,
