Flipping back through CVS snapshots I see this failure started happening
when Greg expanded help.tar in CVS, which lengthened the EXTRA_DISTS
variable setting in help/Makefile.  Looks like a sed line length limitation
in configure is what's biting us, combined with automake not maintaining
the line wrapping Greg used in Makefile.am.
