make sure that @command{make} notices sources files have been updated.
This timestamp shift is troublesome when both sources and generated
-files are kept under CVS@. Because CVS processes files in alphabetical
-order, @file{configure.ac} will appear older than @file{configure}
+files are kept under CVS@. Because CVS processes files in lexical
+order, @file{configure.ac} will appear newer than @file{configure}
after a @command{cvs update} that updates both files, even if
@file{configure} was newer than @file{configure.ac} when it was
checked in. Calling @command{make} will then trigger a spurious rebuild
