    You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.

Please note that although this package is stable and automake-1.13 is ~arch,
this is still a priority fix because ~arch users are immediately affected.

Okay, fixed this one along with another annoying failure I just created (by having ncurses built with use=tinfo).  Should be available shortly.
