Hello automakers. The `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro refers, in its generated portion of the configure help screen, to a broken hyperlink <http://www.dmalloc.com/dmalloc.tar.gz>:

I think it should be enough to point the user to the dmalloc website, hoping he can manage to grab a relase tarball from there by his own ;-) So I pushed the following patch to maint (without merging to master or branch-1.11).
