*Maybe* GNU autoconf 1.0 should accept no files on AC_OUTPUT(), and
still produce a legal config.status.  Right now, it gives:

	[...]
	top_srcdir=$srcdir
	for file in ; do
	  srcdir=$top_srcdir
	[...]

which generates a shell syntax error.  The whole for loop could be
omitted.  Sometimes, the config.status file *is* the main output.
