This last isn't necessary, at least with AC 2.59, AC_FUNC_LSTAT requires
AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK.  As near as I can tell from the
autoconf CVS repository, this has been true since revision 1.1, in Aug
of 2000.  Don't know where 1.1 came from.  Glancing at the tags, it was
pre Autoconf 2.50, though.  Doesn't GNULIB require a more recent
Autoconf than that?

Other than that, the patch looks good by me.

Thanks,

Derek
