And regenerate with automake 1.9. I don't know if that would work
on the "pristine" GNU tools (we BSD people have our patched tools)
but I think so. This is an excerpt from a larger diff, that's why
the line numbers don't seem to fit.

I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it
when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt
