the patch to replace old macro

lrzsz-0.12.20 uses obsolete AM_CONFIG_HEADER macro, which is removed in automake 1.13.

Here is aclocal.out.

    You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.

Appling attached patch fixed problem. I suppose the patch can be merged with existing lrzsz-0.12.20-automake-2.12.patch. BTW, automake-2.12 is probably a typo of automake-1.12, I guess.

Fixed without a revision bump. Thanks for reporting!

Actually, I'll use your patch instead of the sed script.

I also renamed the older automake-1.12 patch to avoid confusion. Thanks for the patch! :)
