[PATCH] use @dots{} in autoconf.texi

[Art Haas]

Hi.

Here's a small patch that replaces all but two occurances
of "..." with @dots{} or @enddots{}. I used @enddots{} in
a couple of places where I thought it made more sense than
just @dots{}. Using these texinfo markup commands in place
of "..." improves the appearances of printed output, according
to the texinfo documentation.

This patch is against the current CVS version.

Thanks for all the work on autoconf!

Art Haas
