Latest CVS autoconf.

I have several autoconf packages that do not do any compiling, so I don't
bother to call AC_PROG_CC .

However, the generated "configure" script seems to want to find the C
preprocessor, and this fails with:

 harlan@puss> configure
 checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
 checking whether build environment is sane... yes
 checking for mawk... no
 checking for gawk... no
 checking for nawk... no
 checking for awk... awk
 checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
 checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
 checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsdelf4.3
 checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
 configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
 harlan@puss> 

While I can easily hack around this by adding an AC_PROG_CC to my
configure.in, I was thinking this may be a bug...
