autoconf 2.52h and OS/2

[Andreas Buening]

Hello!

I've just tested 2.52h and it is not possible to recreate
autoconf's configure script. I suggest:

Another idea: Would it be possible to start autom4te from the
same directory where autoconf is stored?
Then /test/autoconf/bin/autoconf would work even if
/test/autoconf/bin is not in the PATH (or even worse if
an outdated but stable release of autom4te in in the PATH)


A minor comment: There is a small thing in the configure
script. Please let the current autoconf recreate that file
before releasing a new version. Thanks.
