Yes, and I installed the following patch for that Autoconf bug. I
suspect that the only reason it hasn't been noticed before is that
most traditional 'make' programs don't warn about the misuse of $<.

* bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where
POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.
Problem reported by Anthony N. Frasso in
<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-03/msg00008.html>.
