Works for me.  What autoconf/automake version do you use?

Please look into kdelibs/configure.in (not .in.in!) for
khtml/java/kjava.policy.  It should be there exactly once, as argument to
AC_CONFIG_FILES.  (Well, there should be another occurence commented out
with 'dnl', i.e. a verbatim copy of the above .in.in file).

It is.  But 'dnl AC_OUTPUT' is handled specially by the generator of
configure.in, i.e. it's a comment for autoconf, but not for our scripts.
