Thanks, this is nicer.  (Should I set my alarm clock to increment the
default in July 2007?  :-)

I'd rather not put '--assume-autoconf=2.60' in my bootstrap scripts,
though, since that's one more number to maintain manually.  I'll put
in '--assume-autoconf=latest-stable' instead.  That works.  I
installed the following patch to document this usage:

        * gnulib-tool (func_usage): Document --assume-autoconf='latest-stable'.
