This patch breaks it for me (error from cvs-head):

../configure: line 11979: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
../configure: line 11979: `CONFIG_H=`echo " config.h:config-h.in" | $SED
's,^[ ]*,,;s,[ :].*$,,'` ;;'

Must I upgrade autoconf? In that case, is that common?

I have autoconf-cvs with this last entry in ChangeLog:

2005-06-28  Derek Price  <address@hidden>

        * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools <sed>): Reword
        recent addition.

Cheers,
Peter
