(See http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-200001/msg00025.html)

Seems fine to me.  (Even on BeOS its not too bad, since it will only
fix config.h once, and then stop?  Rather than now where it just keeps
appending.)

A possible change would be to use `$UNAME -s` instead of `uname -s`
(in case no uname, wrt earlier uname stuff in configure.in to set
$UNAME), although I notice AC_PROG_CC uses plain uname, so I guess 
it is acceptable (even if using uname at all is against configure
"philosophy" as I understand it).
