That wasn't intended as a criticism, just for future reference (for
yourself and others).  It's simply a matter of editting configure.ac then
running "autoconf" or "autoreconf", although that does require GNU
autoconf and possibly GNU m4.

That particular change is easy to figure out once you know which version
it applies to, which is why I asked.  More involved patches against
configure can be difficult to convert into the required changes to
configure.ac (and we may get it wrong, particularly if it's on a platform
we can't test).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
