it isnt my code. i have nothing to do with openssh. i'm merely forwarding
along regression reports of 2.63b compared to every version previous. even if
you decide to keep this behavior, it should be noted in the NEWS.

i'm not an expert by any means with internal autoconf/m4. if there's a m4
helper function to test whether an argument contains something other than
whitespace, then the change to m4sh.m4:_AS_IF is trivial ... use that rather
than m4_ifvaln([$1],....
