I can't see what motivated the change from `pwd` to ${PWD},
so I changed that back, and added more explanation in case
we encounter some other problem with this method.
Does this change make it work again?

[snip patch for configure.in]
Yes, thanks, that does it.
I patched configure.in, ran autoconf (version 2.13) to build configure,
then ran "configure", "make", and "make install" (using an older version
of my Perl build script that doesn't unset $PWD). The result was a
working emacs installation.
