Thanks.  config.status runs ./configure itself, though, so the rule
should actually be

	config.status: configure.ac
		$(QUIET_GEN)$(MAKE) configure && \
		if test -f config.status; then \
		  ./config.status --recheck; \
		else \
		  ./configure;
		fi

Rather than screw it up yet again, I'm going to sleep. :)  If someone
else corrects the patch before tomorrow, I won't mind.
