I don't understand why Kim's split-up of the autoconf-file cvs commits should be
necessary, so I left a little note hoping for someone to explain technically why
that should be the case.  I certainly never ran into any problems with my old
single-commit version (which I added back in along with an explanation of why it
supposedly won't always work).

Also Kim's text implied that the _only_ reason for the given order is the RCS
Ids -- not true -- the timestamps are the main reason a particular order is
necessary.  Made a couple of other clarifications as well.
