If AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is not used, and version.texi is in a doc
directory, than "automake -a" installs mdate-sh in top_srcdir, but the
Makefile.in in the doc directory tries to use mdate-sh in srcdir,
which mdate-sh does not exist.
One approach to a fix is to use mdate-sh in top_srcdir, and I include
a patch for that solution below. Installing mdate-sh in the doc
directory would work instead.
