I couldn't find where to get snapshots so I tried applying it to
autoconf-2.52. makeinfo chokes on the doc/autoconf.texi portion.
I couldn't find a status.m4 anywhere but after poking around
I found the section in acgeneral.m4 that I could manually apply the
patch too.

"make check" on SCO Open Server 3 still fails bigtime.
But using the patched version of 2.52 on my UnixWare machine produces
an openssh configure script that DOES work on SCO Open Server 3.
