...gwah?

That message was added (purely as an informative note, since people kept
either being confused by the behaviour or suggesting that we either
switch to autoconf or change the behaviour ourselves) in SVN revision
18319, which is in fact from before the switch from CVS to SVN took
place - and *that* was finalized back in early June. The current
revision is 22390. Were you really that far behind the curve?
