Changing \t to \\t in the source allows makeinfo to complete without
complaint, and fixes the missing \ in the info output, but it results in
a doubled-up \\ in pdf output.

Trying to use @backslash{}t failed, because there is no @backslash
command (should there be?).

Any other ideas for a workaround that works for both info and pdf?  Or
do we make generation of the autoconf depend on an as-yet unreleased
texinfo version?
