* Major changes in Autoconf 2.59c

Released 2006-04-12, by Ralf Wildenhues.

** The configure command now redirects standard input from /dev/null,
to help avoid problems with subsidiary commands that might mistakenly
read standard input. AS_ORIGINAL_STDIN_FD points to the original
standard input before this redirection, if you really want configure to
read from standard input.
