Pavel Roskin 9f999a6c43 Don't use filenames that can be reduced to "conftest" on DOS.
* acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Use conftest.mmap, not
conftestmmap.
(AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL): Use conftest.data, not conftestdata.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use conftest.make, not
conftestmake.
(_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): Use conftest.dir, not conftestdir.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Use conftest.sed, not
conftestsed.
* m4/sanity.m4: Use conftest.file, not conftestfile.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines for Test Programs): Suggest
using conftest.data, not conftestdata.
