Clarify syntax in configure.ac following Vladimir Ivanovic's change. 2008-12-27 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * configure.ac: Vladimir Ivanovic's change of 2008-09-17 was effective, but not correct. The original issue was that m4 stripped [], so "char *v[]" in configure.ac became "char *v" in configure. His change to configure.ac rendered the declaration "char **v[]", which is effective but confusing; this change renders it "char **v". * configure: Regenerate.
