They're not autoconfiscated.  We've been referred to C++ stuff as
examples over the years, but it's never been clear to me that they
really DTRT; libf2c really must autoconf.

Its configure.in seems to do things the same way with AC_PROG_INSTALL.
I'm not sure how it's different, except that its configure seems to
have been generated by a different or customized autoconf, despite the
version info at the top and the lack of obvious customization files...
