Since Jim already changed coreutils to use this proposed style, and I just
committed a patch to autoconf to use this style, I've gone ahead and
pushed this patch.

Also, if you use autoconf.git (will become autoconf 2.64), and your
package name argument to AC_INIT starts with 'GNU ', then your built
'./configure --help' will automatically include the URL to your package
and a pointer to the generic GNU help page.  You will also have access to
the new configuration variable AC_PACKAGE_URL (if autoconf guessed the
wrong URL for your GNU package, then you can provide an explicit override).
