...and prevents autoconf 2.13 from generating a usable script - it
doesn't understand "m4_pattern_allow()", so it just puts

        m4_pattern_allow(LIBOBJS)

into the configure script.

I don't know whether there's a way to get the newer autoconfs not to
complain without breaking older autoconfs.  If not, we'll probably have
to decide to require anybody doing development on the configure scripts
to have a newer autoconf, and use the newer autoconf to generate the
scripts.
