Public bug reported:

checked out lp:vm/8.1.x autoconf,  configure with --prefix, get the
message

checking otherdirs... Opening input file: No such file or directory,
/cse/staff/markd/compbio/work/emacs/vm/8.1.x/lisp/version.txt

However the configure script does not exit with an error, so it is not
noticed until the make fails.

two bugs:  1) configure script needs to exit non-zero when files are missing
                 2) where did version.txt go?

BTW, I am assuming this is the branch leading to 8.1.0.  I want to
verify problems in 8.1.0-beta still exist before reporting them.
