The bug only affected the "hints" printed by automake in some error messages
(e.g., "The usual way to define `F77' is to add AC_PROG_F77 to configure.ac"),
and I believe that is so minor not to require a NEWS entry.  Anyway, I see
this fact wasn't apparent from my commit message, so I've amended it to be
clearer.  Attached is the patch I've pushed.  If you are still convinced it
deserves a NEWS entry anyway, feel free to write one; I won't object.

Thanks,
