Patch to fix handling of source files names containing literal '$'

[Anselm Kruis]

Hi,

Problem: automake does'nt handle filenames containing literal '$' very
well. Example:

Consider compiling a file named 'filewith$dollar.c". Then Makefile.am
might contain thei line:

my_programm_SOURCES = \
filewith$$dollar.c \
other_source.c \
...

config.status scans the Makefile and doesn't reduce the double '$$' to a
single '$ as make does.

The patch fixes this problem by adding an additional sed expression to the
code, that handles the DEP_FILES definition from the Makefile.

Patch:

     test -f "$dirpart/$file" && continue
     fdir=`AS_DIRNAME(["$file"])`


ChangeLog:
     * m4/depout.m4: reduce '$$' in file names to '$'.
