CVS Automake vs. CVS Autoconf

[Akim Demaille]

For some reason, CVS Automake seems to be seriously stammering.  This
is on CVS Autoconf' Makefiles:

Actually, would there be a problem with sort+uniq here?  That would
even guarantee a better determiniscality (ouch!  deterministicness?)

This is because

   # Initialize the test suite and build position independent wrappers.
   AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR([tests])
   AC_CONFIG_FILES([tests/Makefile tests/atlocal])
   AC_CONFIG_FILES([tests/autoconf:tests/wrapper.in],
                   [chmod +x tests/autoconf])

but there are even more of these than before.
