[PATCH] Autotest 2.62 bug?

[Gary V. Vaughan]

Hallo Ralf,

The following patch makes it possible to bootstrap libtool.git master with 
Autoconf 2.62,
though it is not necessary when using a newer Autoconf.

Unfortunately I don't know my way around the innards of Autotest well enough to 
be able
to figure out what the problem is, though with time it should be possible to 
bisect to
the changeset that fixes it I suppose.

Having said that, if it's really a bug in Autoconf 2.62, then we either need to 
require
a newer version of Autoconf to bootstrap the Libtool testsuite, or else test and
commit a variant of the following patch to work around it.

Cheers,
Gary
