Erm, the AC_CONFIG_LINKS addition would require git Autoconf
newer than or equal acb069f9d25ff6ad857f6b8de097506c1c1da0a6
(i.e., something like AC_PREREQ([2.61a.123456])).

That would then completely ruin any chance a newbie could get
git Autoconf bootstrapped.

Of course, an appropriate AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS could still work.

Sorry for the noise.
