Some relevant upstream autoconf bugs related to some of the screw-ups I
mentioned:
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110886 (sr #110886: autoupdate produces
broken configure.ac)
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=110325 (sr #110325:
autoupdate introduces a second invocation of AC_OUTPUT)
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=110324 (sr #110324:
autoupdate does some nonsensical changes)
