ACK!  No, please.  I've been actively advocating not to do this for some
time.  I can't imagine why this would not be obvious from context.  It is
always better to let the computer do the work for you and just dropping
a setup.hint in an appropriately named directory is guaranteed to be
less error prone than putting a name in a setup.hint file that is the
same name as a directory.

I have actually been removing these redundant lines whenever I find them
in a setup.hint.
