configure.in is using AC_CONFIG_HEADERS (the autoconf-2.50 flavour of 
AC_CONFIG_HEADER) instead of AM_CONFIG_HEADER.

automake-1.4-p4 doesn't spot misuse of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS (I'll check in a fix 
presently incase I release p5), but changing to AM_CONFIG_HEADER causes 
config-h.in to be distributed as before.  CVS HEAD already diagnises 
AC_CONFIG_HEADEERS correctly.  I guess I screwed up AutoGen's autoconf-2.50 
upgrade (I'll check in a fix presently), sorry.
 
Cheers,
        Gary.
