Ah, ok.  I reckon that goes for autoheader, too?

Never mind. I misinterpreted the docs.  AH_BOTTOM and AH_TOP are not 
deprecated along with acconfig.h, config.h.top, and config.h.bottom. 
Rather, AH_BOTTOM and AH_TOP (along with AH_TEMPLATE and AH_VERBATIM) 
are the "new" macros now preferred over those deprecated files.

Looks like this patch goes to the trash-heap too. :-)
