I'm certain that it helps: test_time failed since Jeremy made the
change to configure, now it succeeds again.

It may not be the right fix, sure, but I recommend that we don't check
in a fix that breaks other things.  The search is on, and I trust that
Jeremy and Martin will figure something out (and that Jeremy will run
autoconf, autoheader, configure, *and* the test suite before checking
in more changes).
