    _______________________________________________________

Details:

In the attached example configure.ac, there is a line

dnl AC_OUTPUT([Makefile])

and autoupdate 2.69c transforms it to

dnl AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT


Since there is already an AC_OUTPUT invocation in the configure.ac file, now
there are two AC_OUTPUT invocations!

IMO, either autoupdate should leave comment lines untouched, or should add a
'dnl ' prefix to all continuation lines of the expansion.
