Commit 7cd1d7b fixes Automake=E2=80=99s test suite.  If you want to burn CPU
cycles, please test.  :-)

This turned out to be trickier than expected, because =E2=80=98autoconf=E2=
=80=99
generates shell scripts, and it=E2=80=99s the shebang of those scripts that
should be patched to refer to our Bash instead of /bin/sh.

Yet, users who install Autoconf must get the real one, which emits
#!/bin/sh.

This commit addresses that by using an =E2=80=98autoconf=E2=80=99 wrapper t=
hat does the
shebang patching, and is used for the sole purpose of running Automake=E2=
=80=99s
test suite.
