Well, why not. It's going to be a bit messy since it's stderr we have
to grep, but doable.
Still, I think it'd be better to fix Autoconf itself. Do we consider
normal that users see this message when they run ./configure? I don't
think so.
Jim, Paul, you two guys certainly know very well the mktime test. How
would you fix it? How come the alarm was still set? And why is it
the shell that received it (Ahem, my Unix knowledge is not too good...).
