Ok, thanks Benjamin.  Know that I'm stumbling around in the dark with  
respect to configure, autoconfigure, automake and even make.  I've  
just received today the book "GNU Autoconf, Automate, and Libtool" on  
the good advice of Eric Christopher, am reading it, but haven't had  
time to read much of it yet.

So who/how does configure get regenerated?  Autoconf is my best guess  
but I'm not clear if that requires something to be checked in (I  
don't see configure.in).  I'm also not clear if this body prefers  
that I check in these changes myself (once approved) or if someone  
such as yourself or Paolo would prefer to check in this patch.

Here is what I currently have based on your good advice (and thanks).
