No, thank you.

This is something we better ask Steve (i.e. version of autoconf he is
using to generate the configure).

Note that many differences might simply be because of different line
numbers (autoconf embeds line number into the generated configure. I
guess that this is for debugging).

The original configure (i.e. the one from CVS) might have something at
the beginning indicating the version of autoconf which generated it.

... Yes, it does, line #4 of configure. Steve used autoconf 2.52.

It is very well possible that the TEA macros clash with what autoconf
2.52 is doing. It can't tell you details, because I don't know
them. This is definitely something Jeff Hobbs could/should know, or be
made aware of.

In the interim we should ask Steve to generate the distributed
configure with autoconf 2.13 to prevent problems.
