This is a small patch that I've been sitting on for some time. It moves
the generation of config.h.generic from the PrepareRelease script to
Makefile.am, for consistency with the existing pcre.h.generic rule.
Also, it adds a missing backslash to PrepareRelease.
Perhaps I'm being stupid, but I do not understand how the code you have
put in Makefile.am causes ./configure to run in order to generate a
default config.h.
The code is invoked when you do "make dist" or "make distcheck" (after
having run ./configure, of course) to generate a distribution tarball.
(Given that config.h.generic is a generated file, and its contents depend
on what's in configure.ac, it makes sense for this file to be produced by
a makefile rule. So you can do "make config.h.generic".)
