This fixes the remaining testsuite failures with zsh 4.3.10 on FreeBSD.

produces an empty file with sh, but a file containing a newline with
zsh, even after 'emulate sh'. autoconf.texi patch coming up too, I
guess.
Ouch - that's a nasty bug. Have you reported it to the zsh list yet?
Hmm, rather than fixing all _our_ uses of AT_DATA, but still having the
problem for other clients, why not instead fix AT_DATA to special-case
the empty argument to do the right thing for everyone? Don't apply this
patch, and I'll help come up with an alternative.
Oops - I thought your patch was for autoconf when I asked you not to
apply the patch. On re-reading this, I see that it is a libtool patch
instead. Go ahead and apply the libtool patch, since you can't
guarantee (or don't want to limit yourself to) a new enough autoconf.
Meanwhile, in parallel, I will be patching autoconf to make AT_DATA
explicitly allow empty files in 2.68.
