Andreas,

	Ran across this while testing.  Autoconf 2.61 changes the format of
variable definitions in config.status, so that the sed commands used by
COIN_INIT_AUTO_TOOLS to import variables fail.  Here's an example:

2.59: s, at SHELL@,/bin/sh,;t t

2.61: s, at SHELL@,|#_!!_#|/bin/sh,g

You can see the problem with the mid and end markers.
