Yes; we're merely trying to make those annoying messages vanish.

You're running an older Autoconf; it's probably at least a couple of
months old.  My impression is that if you were running the very latest
CVS version of Autoconf, you wouldn't have this problem -- even if we
didn't modify Autoconf at all.

So, as far as I know, the only reason to add LC_MONETARY to the latest
version of Autoconf is to support ancient, nonstandard hosts (probably
at least 5 years old).
