Hi Greg, 

Oops.  This happened beacase you were using the system autoconf instead
of the built-in autoconf in the krb5 tree.  Normally $(AUTOCONF) is a
path to built-in autoconf, so what you get is "/bin/sh
../../src/util/autoconf/autoconf".  Note that we do have some bug fixes
beyond what's in 2.12, which I *think* are into 2.13, but I need to
check to make sure.  So just as a warning, if you're system autoconf is
the stock 2.12 from the FSF, you may run into some problems.  (Something
we need to do is to try moving autoconf 2.13 into our tree, and then
change the AC_PREREQ to be 2.13).

I've made the fix into config.pre.  Thanks!!

					- Ted
