For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as

(Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
"ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
example, since the old example is now out of date.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
spaghetti.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead

* Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
