patch configure.ac to run default-configure right at the start

The problem is that configure runs
> if test -z "$DOSEMU_DEFAULT_CONFIGURE" ; then
>   exec $srcdir/default-configure "$@"
> fi
at a time where $@ has already been changed, in this case to contain the list
of site config files. Th eattached patch moves this invocation further up.

After applying my patch from comment 2 I got the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/var/tmp/portage/dosemu-1.3.2/work/dosemu-1.3.2/src/base'
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -MP -MMD -I../../src/include

make[2]: *** [data.o] Error 1                                

The files are in src/plugin/kbd_unicode/include which is not listed in the
include file list. Maybe mkpluginhooks did something wrong.

The bug might be because my patch somehow garbled the configuration process, I
don't know for sure. Please let me know if you experience the same.

(From update of attachment 92544 [details])
OK, this patch does not work. The moved section is not included in the
configure script, so that default-configure is not called at all, causing
errors.

dosemu-1.3.2.ebuild

This ebuild basically renames default-configure to configure, so that econf
calls this directly. Of course the current configure script is taken care of.

An alternative would be to use the default-configure call directly, but looking
at the econf code, I think it does a lot of work I'd not like to reproduce.

This compiled for me, but has problems running: key 'r' is printed as 't', 'i'
as '.' and ',' as 'x', so I can't type exitemu except using Alt+105 as i.

No idea where this comes from so far. Do you experience the same?

worked around in 1.3.3, would prefer a fix to configure.ac upstream, but got no
reply yet.
