Can you send me the details on this one?  I'm not real eager for us to
try to apply a hand patch to configure (it would get lost, because we
change configure.in and rerun autoconf every few days, seems like).
But maybe there is another way.  In any case, I can try to make sure
that the next release of Autoconf fixes the underlying problem.

This is a symptom of incorrect configure guess about how to do
cpp-from-stdin ... the file that should contain the definition of
F_OIDEQ is winding up empty :-(

It should be fixed in the current CVS sources, or BETA4 whenever that's
out.
