Probably is related to the autoconf version (I'm still using autoconf
2.13). Anyways, I've applied your fixes to the CVS-tree.

It's of course a matter of taste, but most people (including me) prefer
the so-called unified diff format. The common syntax is "diff -ruN
configure.in configure.tim". It's popular because it's the most readable
diff output (the one with + and - signs preceding modified lines). But at
least I have no problems accepting patches in other formats. It's not
really that big of a deal (unless you're sending a patch to Torvalds or
other kernel hackers; they are quite strict when it comes to patches ;)).
If you have a local CVS-tree of the sources, and you've modified some of
the files locally, you can easily get a diff with "cvs diff -u somefile".
If you omit the filename, you get a recursive diff of all locally modified
files in the source tree.
