good catch!

This is not true either, because the user may specify a tag defined
by AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS or AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

The term `tag' is not very decsriptive, though.  Saying ``no file,
header, link, nor command'' is too long.  Perhaps the term `file',
though not exact, is the best alternative.

I suggest:

# The default lists apply if the user does not specify any file.

or

# The default lists apply if no tag is given on the command line
# (ie. no file, no header, no link, and no command).
